Abstract
Previous studies on transient replication of papillomaviruses have shown an absolute requirement for the viral E1 and E2 proteins in DNA replication. Here we demonstrate that for human papillomavirus type 1a (HPV-1a) DNA, the E1 protein alone is sufficient for in vivo replication of plasmids containing the viral origin of replication. Replication was origin-specific and required the presence of a DNA sequence containing a putative E1 binding site, but the E2 binding sites were dispensable. In the presence of the E1 protein, E2 stimulated replication of plasmids containing the E1 and E2 binding sites, but no stimulation was observed when the origin plasmids lacked E2 binding sites. Conversely, in the presence of E1 alone, the E2 binding sites did not affect replication. Plasmids containing the replication origins of HPV-6b, HPV-18, and bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) also replicated efficiently in the presence of the HPV-1a E1 and E2 proteins. However, plasmids containing the origins of HPV-6b and HPV-18 failed to replicate in the presence of HPV-1a E1 alone, whereas a plasmid containing the BPV-1 origin replicated to lower levels than the HPV-1a origin-containing plasmid. These results suggest that replication from papillomaviral origins in the presence of E1 alone is presumably dependent on the strength of E1-origin interactions. Additionally, E1-dependent replication is stimulated by the E2 protein in the presence of E2 binding sites.
