The E3-ubiquitin ligase E6AP degrades p53 when complexed with the viral protein E6 from human papilloma virus (HPV), which contributes to the transformation of cells in HPV-related cancers. Previous crystal structures of the E6AP-E6-p53 ternary complex have implicated a peptide containing an LxxLL motif from E6AP as the interface between the three proteins. However, the contributions to the ternary complex from the remainder of the E6AP protein remain unknown. We reexamined this complex using cryo-EM and full-length proteins and find additional protein interaction interfaces involving a previously uncharacterized domain of E6AP. Additionally, we observe that the ternary complex forms both 1:1:1 and 2:2:2 stochiometric complexes comprised of E6AP, E6 and p53.
