RESUMO

The E7 oncoprotein encoded by human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 repressed the transcription of fibronectin, a key component of the extracellular matrix. This repression, detected in several HPV-positive nontumorigenic and tumorigenic cell lines, was abolished when the Cys-X-X-Cys repeats in E7 were disrupted.
