Abstract

The DNAs of the human papillomaviruses (HPVs) associated with the benign lesions of two patients suffering from epidermodysplasia verruciformis (patients JD and JK) were analyzed by using 12 restriction endonucleases. None of the restriction endonucleases were one-cut enzymes for the HPV DNA obtained from patient JD, referred to as the prototypical HPV-5, whereas five of them were one-cut enzymes for the DNA of the major virus found in patient JK, referred to as HPV-9. The molecular cloning of the two fragments resulting from the cleavage of HPV-5 DNA by endonuclease HindIII and of the single fragment obtained after treatment of HPV-9 DNA with endonuclease BamHI was performed in Escherichia coli after the fragments were inserted in plasmid pBR322. A cleavage map of the two cloned genomes was constructed. Little sequence homology (4 to 5%) was detected between HPV-5 and HPV-9 DNAs by DNA-DNA hybridization experiments in liquid phase at saturation; this homology was reproducibly higher than that (2 to 3%) detected under the same conditions between these DNAs and HPV-1a DNA. In addition, blot hybridization experiments performed under stringent conditions showed no or little sequence homology between the DNAs of HPV-5 and HPV-9 and those of HPV prototypes of types 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 associated with skin warts. These results confirm that HPV-5 and HPV-9 are two distinct HPV types.
