Figure 5: Interactions between viral and cancer proteins.
From: Cell type-specific properties and environment shape tissue specificity of cancer genes
(A) Cancer genes targeted by maximally one virus tend to be more specific (***p < 0.001). (B) Cancer proteins of different cancer types tend to interact with proteins from different virus types. Cancer types are grouped by similar tissue origin. Cancer proteins from hematological origin tend to interact with EBV proteins and proteins from cancer types of urogenital origin tend to interact with HPV proteins.
