Abstract

We examined expression of the E5 transforming protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) in naturally and experimentally infected bovine cells. Bovine conjunctival fibroblasts transformed in vitro by experimental infection with purified BPV-1 virions expressed significantly higher amounts of the 7-kDa E5 protein than BPV-1-transformed murine C127 cells. Indirect immunofluourescence analysis revealed a cytoplasmic, predominantly juxtanuclear, localization of E5 protein in the in vitro virus-transformed bovine cells. In naturally infected bovine skin fibropapilloma tissue, two widely separated sites of E5 protein synthesis were identified within the epithelial layers. Transformed basal layer keratinocytes throughout the tumor tissue expressed cytoplasmic E5 protein at a low uniform level. In addition, abundant amounts of cytoplasmic E5 protein with a granular staining pattern were detected in highly differentiated keratinocytes in close association with sites of viral capsid protein synthesis. These observations imply roles for the viral E5 oncogene in the growth transformation of basal epidermal keratinocytes as well as in the differentiation-linked process of viral maturation. Detection of a papillomavirus protein in the basal cell population of warts lends support to the hypothesis that these cells are maintained in a transformed state by continuous expression of a viral transforming gene.
