EEF1A1 and skin neoplasm: HPV-38, which is associated with skin cancer (Kocjan et al., 2009), interacts with the eukaryotic elongation factor 1 A (eEF1A) via the viral E7 protein to remodel actin fibers in the cytoskeleton and thereafter promoting aberrant cell proliferation, as shown in human keratinocytes (Yue et al., 2011).
