Transcription Factor-dependent Loading of the E1 Initiator Reveals Modular Assembly of the Papillomavirus Origin Melting Complex
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Replication of bovine papillomavirus type 1 DNA absolutely requires the viral transcription factor E2 as well as the initiator E1, although E1 alone has all the activities expected of an initiator protein. E1 assembles on the DNA in a stepwise fashion and undergoes a transition in activities from site-specific DNA-binding protein to mobile helicase. Complex assembly is assisted by the viral transcription factor...
