Chapter 10, Problem 3VCQ
Figure 10.14 Human papillomavirus can cause cervical cancer. The virus encodes E6, a protein that binds p53. Based on this fact and what you know about p53, what effect do you think E6 binding has on p53 activity?
- E6 activates p53
- E6 inactivates p53
- E6 mutates p53
- E6 binding marks p53 for degradation

Retroviruses can cause cancer, along with some viruses with DNA genomes. For example, herpes papillomavirus causes cervical cancer. The HPV genome encodes a protein called E6 that interferes with p53 function, and another protein called E7 that inhibits the function of Rb protein.
Explain how HPV causes cancer. Are the viral E6 and E7 protein functions more similar to oncogenes or tumor suppressors?
Given that BOVID-12 seems to have a significant affect
on brain organoid size you decide to take iPSCs and
differentiate them into neurons. The iPSCs mature into
early neural progenitor cells (Early NPCs), then late
neural progenitor cells (Late NPCs), and then neurons.
You take each of these four cell types and infect them
with the BOVID-12 virus. The results are shown below:
Early NPCs
Late NPCs

- The P63 and P53 have similar functionalities in the cell, however, p53 is rarely associated directly with p63, suggesting that p63 may indirectly act as an oncogene by blocking p53 function. This hypothesis may also explain why p63 is associated with other indications of misinterpretation. I do understand the above statement, however once piece not clear – why would p63 block p53 function? Have these genes been shown to have opposing functions? From the background information provided above, it seems like they would have seminar functions. Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following must occur for programmed cell death (apoptosis): 1. p53 must be stabilized 2. M-Cdk must be active 3. Caspases must be inactivated 4.
