HPV-16 RNA processing.

چکیده
To understand human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) gene regulation, it is necessary to understand HPV-16 RNA processing. HPV-16 encodes multiple 5'- and 3'-splice sites and two polyadenylation signals pAE and pAL (Figure 1). The major 3'-splice site on the HPV-16 genome (SA3358) is used for generation of E6, E7, E4, L1 and L2 mRNAs. It encodes a suboptimal splice signal but is under control of a strong enhancer that renders SA3358 one of the most efficiently used splice sites on the HPV-16 genome. Thereby SA3358 indirectly blocks HPV-16 late gene expression. The early polyA signal is also under control of the early UTR sequence and multiple RNA elements in the L2 coding region that interact with hnRNP H. The two splice sites SD3632 and SA5639 are used exclusively by late mRNAs and are under control of multiple splicing silencer elements. The silencers at SA5639 are located in the L1 coding region and interact with hnRNP A1. So far, only polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) has been shown to induce late gene expression.

HPV-16 (human papillomavirus type 16) is a small dsDNA (double-stranded DNA) virus which infects mucosal epithelial tissue of the cervix. Epithelial tissue is composed of a basal layer of cells, capable of division, and a number of suprabasal layers, wherein the cells become more differentiated the closer to the surface of the epithelium they become. Expression of viral proteins is dependent up...

OBJECTIVE In most cervical cancers, human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are identified. The E6 and E7 genes of HPVs encode proteins, that interfere with the function of the tumor suppressor proteins p53 and Rb. We are exploring the potential use of antisense HPV RNA transcripts for gene therapy for HPV-positive cervical cancers. METHODS Via a recombinant adenoviral vector, Ad5CMV-HPV 16 AS, we intr...

Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) cause widespread infections in humans, resulting in latent infections or diseases ranging from benign hyperplasia to cancers. HPV-induced pathologies result from complex interplays between viral proteins and the host proteome. Given the major public health concern due to HPV-associated cancers, most studies have focused on the early proteins expressed by HPV genotyp...
متن کاملSuppression of HPV-16 late L1 5′-splice site SD3632 by binding of hnRNP D proteins and hnRNP A2/B1 to upstream AUAGUA RNA motifs
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) 5'-splice site SD3632 is used exclusively to produce late L1 mRNAs. We identified a 34-nt splicing inhibitory element located immediately upstream of HPV-16 late 5'-splice site SD3632. Two AUAGUA motifs located in these 34 nt inhibited SD3632. Two nucleotide substitutions in each of the HPV-16 specific AUAGUA motifs alleviated splicing inhibition and induce...
