The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E2 protein induces apoptosis in the absence of other HPV proteins and via a p53-dependent pathway (2000)
Journal Article

The human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein regulates viral gene expression and is also required for viral replication. HPV-transformed cells often contain chromosomally integrated copies of the HPV genome in which the viral E2 gene is disrupted. We ha...

Magnesium ions enhance the transfer of Human Papillomavirus E2 protein from non-specific to specific binding sites (1999)
Journal Article

The human papillomavirus 16 E2 protein binds to four specific DNA sequences present within the HPV 16 genome and regulates viral gene expression and DNA replication. However, the E2 protein can also bind tightly to non-specific DNA sequences. Here, w...

Cellular transcirption factors regulate human papillomavirus type 16 gene expression by binding to a subset of the DNA sequences recognised by the viral E2 protein (1999)
Journal Article

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a DNA tumour virus that has been implicated in the development of cervical cancer. The HPV-16 E2 protein binds to four sites that are present upstream of the viral P97 promoter and regulates transcription of t...

Disruption of the human papillomavirus type 16 E2 gene protects cervical carcinoma cells from E2F-induced apoptosis (1997)
Journal Article

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is a DNA tumour virus that has been implicated in the development of cervical cancer. In non-transformed HPV-infected cells, the HPV E2 protein regulates transcription of the viral E6 and E7 oncogenes. Malignant...

A functional YY1 binding site is necessary and sufficient to activate Surf-1 promoter activity in response to serum growth factors (1997)
Journal Article

The human Surf-1 and Surf-2 housekeeping genes are divergently transcribed and share a bi-directional, TATA-less promoter. Housekeeping promoters typically contain complex arrays of transcription factor binding sites and several studies have suggeste...

DNA binding and bending by the human papillomavirus type 16 E2 protein: recognition of an extended binding site (1997)
Journal Article

The human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E2 protein (hE2) binds to four sites present upstream of the P97 promoter and regulates transcription of the viral E6 and E7 oncogenes. We have determined the relative binding constants for the interaction of the ful...
