Abstract excerpt
Papillomavirus DNA persists in infected cells as a nuclear plasmid, causing epithelial lesions in many hosts, including humans. The viral protein E2 is required for both replication and transcription to facilitate this persistence. Bovine papillomavirus E2 protein is phosphorylated at two predominant sites. Phosphorylation of one of these sites (serine 301) inhibits replication of the genome. Using mass...
