title: Protein kinase C-and ras-dependent activation of c-jun gene by human papillomavirus type 11 E5a oncoprotein.
abstract: E5a of HPV-11 is a transforming oncogene. Previously, we have shown that E5a constitutively activates the expression of protooncogene c-jun by transcriptional regulation through the AP-1 binding site in the c-jun promoter. In the present study, we used two different types of cells: the E5a transfected NIH 3T3 cells and human epidermal keratinocytes, and selectively inhibited different signal transduction pathways to investigate effects of E5a on c-jun expression. We find that protein kinase C and ras-dependent pathways are important for the c-jun induction by E5a, but not the cAMP-dependent pathway.
