The tumor suppresor p53 can be degregated by the HPV protein E6 at one of two distinct binding sites on the p53 protein. One can lead to degredation and one does not. HPV types 16 and 18 bind to the one that can cause degredation, and the low-risk types of HPV bind to the site that doesn't....
My question:
Is the site that can cause degredation of p53 hereditary?
I'm having a hard time finding my answer. And if you do know, can you please link me to the credible source you found your answer from. Or even give me an idea of how to search it because I'm having a hard time.
