Interaction of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 capsid proteins with HPV DNA requires an intact L2 N-terminal sequence
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
Encapsidation of papillomavirus DNA involves DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions. We sought to define the role of each human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid protein in HPV DNA encapsidation. HPV16 major (L1) and minor (L2) capsid proteins purified from recombinant vaccinia virus-infected cells were compared for their ability to bind nucleic acids. L2 protein, but not L1 protein, could bind HPV DNA. To map...
