Cutaneous Papillomavirus E6 Proteins Must Interact with p300 and Block p53-Mediated Apoptosis for Cellular Immortalization and Tumorigenesis

In this study, we show that the interaction of CRPVE6, or HPV38E6, with the histone acetyltransferase p300 is crucial to inhibit the ability of p53 to induce apoptosis. Strikingly, E6 mutants deficient for p300 binding are incapable of preventing p53 acetylation, p53-dependent transcription, and apoptosis induction. Moreover, E6 mutants deficient...
