The malignant transformation potential of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is
closely linked to the expression of the viral E6 and E7 genes. To elucidate the molecular …

Abstract The human papillomavirus 18 (HPV18) E6 and E7 proteins are considered to be
primarily responsive for the transforming activity of the virus. In order to analyse the …

The function of the 5′ region of the upstream regulatory region (URR) in regulating E6/E7
expression in cancer-associated papillomaviruses has been largely uncharacterized. In this …

The human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18) long control region (LCR) harbors
transcriptional promoter and enhancer elements. Recombinant plasmids bearing all or part …

Transcription of human papillomaviruses (HPV) is regulated by enhancer sequences
located in the upstream regulatory region. The factors regulating expression of one of the …

The principal early promoter of human papillo-maviruses (HPVs), designated P97 in the
case of HPV-16, contains four characteristically aligned cis-responsive elements, namely …

Using linker scanning mutational analysis, we recently identified potential cis regulatory
elements contained within the 5′ upstream regulatory region (URR) domain and auxiliary …

The enhancer of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is considered to be specific for
epithelial cells, in particular for cervical carcinoma-derived cell lines. We reexamined this …

The upstream regulatory region (URR) of human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV-18) harbors
transcriptional promoter and enhancer elements which are thought to determine the cell …

Transcription of the E6-E7 genes of human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11), HPV-16 and
HPV-18 is specific to epithelial cells. This mechanism originates from synergism between …
