WARTS
T/F:
Benign warts may progress to malignancy

Virus accumulation is most noticeable in the _________ __________ layer of epithelium
stratum granulosum
Virions of Papillomaviruses are typically shed from the ________-most layers of epithelium
upper-most
In *Papillomaviruses *
benign warts have ___________ (unintegrated) DNA
EPISOMAL
In Papillomaviruses
malignant cancers have DNA that is _________ into the host DNA,
INTEGRATED
This means integration is necessary for malignant transformation
In Papillomaviruses
integration disrupts one of the early genes, _______, which is a viral repressor
E2
is a viral repressor
Which 2 viral oncogenes in Papillomaviruses
remain intact and cause the malignant transformation
The viral oncogenes are
E6 and E7
What is the job of viral oncogene E6 in Papillomaviruses?
**E6 **prevents p53 from doing apoptosis on damaged cells
What is the job of viral oncogene **E7 **in Papillomaviruses?
E7 binds to Rb and prevents it from stopping damaged cell proliferation
