Abstract excerpt
The L1 major capsid protein of the papillomavirus is critical for both viral assembly and entry into host cells, but the impact of its post-translational modifications on the HPV life cycle remains poorly understood. In this study, we show, for the first time, that HPV16 L1 is ubiquitinated at several conserved lysine residues (K20, K64, K152, K217, K437, K452, and K454) identified by mass spectrometry. Mutations...
