The Papillomavirus E1 Helicase Activates a Cellular DNA Damage Response in Viral Replication Foci
7 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The papillomavirus E1 and E2 proteins are essential for viral genome replication. E1 is a helicase that unwinds the viral origin and recruits host cellular factors to replicate the viral genome. E2 is a transcriptional regulator that helps recruit the E1 helicase to the origin and also plays a role in genome partitioning. We find that when coexpressed, the E1 and E2 proteins from several papillomavirus types...
