Mechanisms of Viral DNA Replication of Human Papillomavirus: E2 Protein-Dependent Recruitment of E1 DNA Helicase to the Origin of DNA Replication
2 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small double-stranded DNA viruses that infect epithelial cells and cause cervical, anogenital, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV genome replication relies on the viral E1 and E2 proteins to initiate DNA replication. The first step is the assembly of the E1-E2 complex at the origin of replication. We have examined the role of full-length HPV E1 helicase and its interaction with E2 in...
