O. Medinamartinez et al., A SINGLE-ELEMENT MEDIATES GLUCOCORTICOID HORMONE RESPONSE OF HPV18 WITH NO FUNCTIONAL INTERACTIONS WITH AP1 OR HBRM, Virology, 217(1), 1996, pp. 392-396
We determined that the human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18) regulatory
region contains one functional GRE sequence that interacts with the g
lucocorticoid receptor. This sequence conferred a moderate hormonal ac
tivation to the HPV18 P-105 promoter. Two modulators of glucocorticoid
hormone activity, AP1 and hbrm, both involved in P-105 transcription,
were found not to interfere with this hormonal activation. (C) 1996 A
