Role of the E1 <sup>∧</sup> E4 Protein in the Differentiation-Dependent Life Cycle of Human Papillomavirus Type 31
12 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
The most highly expressed protein in the productive life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is E1--E4, but its function is not well understood. To investigate the role of E1--E4, we undertook a genetic analysis in the context of the complete HPV type 31 (HPV31) genome. A mutant HPV31 genome (E4M9) was constructed that contained a stop codon in the E4 open reading frame at amino acid 9 and was silent in the...
