Identification of peptides that inhibit the DNA binding, trans-activator, and DNA replication functions of the human papillomavirus type 11 E2 protein.

چکیده
Peptide antagonists of the human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) E2-DNA association were identified using a filamentous bacteriophage random peptide library. Synthetic peptides antagonized the E2-DNA interaction, effectively blocked E2-mediated transcriptional activation of a reporter gene in cell culture, and inhibited E1-E2-mediated HPV-11 DNA replication in vitro. These peptides may prove to be useful tools for characterizing E2 function and for exploring the effectiveness of E2-inhibitor-based treatments for HPV-associated diseases.

Inhibition of human papillomavirus DNA replication by small molecule antagonists of the E1-E2 protein interaction.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA replication is initiated by recruitment of the E1 helicase by the E2 protein to the viral origin. Screening of our corporate compound collection with an assay measuring the cooperative binding of E1 and E2 to the origin identified a class of small molecule inhibitors of the protein interaction between E1 and E2. Isothermal titration calorimetry and changes in prot...
متن کاملTranscription factor YY1 represses cell-free replication from human papillomavirus origins.
We have established cell-free replication for the human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV-18) origin of replication (ori)-containing DNA by using purified HPV-18 E1 and E2 gene products expressed as fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. The transcription factor YY1 has been shown to regulate RNA transcription by binding to a sequence overlapping the putative E1 protein binding site in the HPV-18 ori. ...
متن کاملBovine papillomavirus type 1 genomes and the E2 transactivator protein are closely associated with mitotic chromatin.
The bovine papillomavirus type 1 E2 transactivator protein is required for viral transcriptional regulation and DNA replication and may be important for long-term episomal maintenance of viral genomes within replicating cells (M. Piirsoo, E. Ustav, T. Mandel, A. Stenlund, and M. Ustav, EMBO J. 15:1-11, 1996). We have evidence that, in contrast to most other transcriptional transactivators, the ...
متن کاملHuman TATA binding protein inhibits human papillomavirus type 11 DNA replication by antagonizing E1-E2 protein complex formation on the viral origin of replication.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) protein E2 possesses dual roles in the viral life cycle. By interacting directly with host transcription factors in basal keratinocytes, E2 promotes viral transcription. As keratinocyte differentiation progresses, E2 associates with the viral helicase, E1, to activate vegetative viral DNA replication. How E2's major role switches from transcription to replication ...
متن کاملThe mitotic chromosome binding activity of the papillomavirus E2 protein correlates with interaction with the cellular chromosomal protein, Brd4.
The papillomavirus transcriptional activator, E2, is involved in key functions of the viral life cycle. These include transcriptional regulation, viral DNA replication, and viral genome segregation. The transactivation domain of E2 is required for each of these functions. To identify the regions of the domain that mediate binding to mitotic chromosomes, a panel of mutations has been generated a...
