Human scribble (hScrib), which was identified as substrate of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation dependent on ubiquitin-protein ligase E6AP, is a human homolog of Drosophila neoplastic tumor suppressor scribble, in which mutation causes loss of polarity and overgrowth o
## Abstract Previous studies have shown that the HPVβ16 E7 protein interacts with TBP. This interaction was found to take place through residues in the carboxy terminal half of E7, mutation of which resulted in weaker transforming activity. In addition, binding of E7 to TBP was found to be increase
The E6 protein of cancer-associated human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) binds to cellular p53 and promotes its degradation through the ubiquitin pathway. In an attempt to identify the regions of E6 that could be targetted for functional inhibition, we generated monoclonal antibodies to the HPV16 E6
