What each gene does specifically • E1 Initiation of DNA replication • E2 Transcriptional regulation/DNA replication • E3 ? • E4 Disrupts cytoskeleton? • E5 Transforming protein, interacts with growth factor receptors • E6 Transforming protein, binds to p53, leading to degradation • E7 Transforming protein, binds to pRB E8 ? • L1 Major capsid protein • L2 Minor capsid protein
