MmuPV1 and HPV E6 Elevate Nuclear Accumulation of IKK? to Impair NF-κB Signaling to Promote Persistent Infection

Preston T Shepherd, Kayla R Duxbury, Zachary Morris, James C Romero-Masters

This study shows MmuPV1 and HPV16 E6 oncoproteins disrupt NF-κB signaling by increasing nuclear IKKα localization, suggesting a shared mechanism in papillomavirus persistence.

The Mus musculus papillomavirus type 1 E7 protein binds to the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor - implications for viral pathogenesis

Tao Wei, Miranda R. Grace, Aayushi Uberoi…·Karl Münger

This paper shows that the MmuPV1 E7 protein binds RB1 without using the canonical LXCXE motif and that this interaction is essential for papilloma formation in mice.
