Cellular Replication

Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types is responsible for ~5% of human cancers. The HPV infectious cycle can sustain long-term infection in stratified epithelia because viral DNA is maintained as low copy number extrachromosomal plasmids in the dividing basal cells of a lesion, while progeny viral genomes are amplified to large numbers in differentiated superficial cells. The viral E1 and E2 proteins initiate viral DNA replication and maintain and partition viral genomes, in concert with the cellular replication machinery. Additionally, the E5, E6, and E7 proteins are required to evade host immune responses and to produce a cellular environment that supports viral DNA replication. An unfortunate consequence of the manipulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation is that cells become at high risk for carcinogenesis.

Viral Dna Replication

Two herpes simplex virus proteins, the major capsid protein and the major DNA binding protein, are specifically localized to the nucleus of infected cells. We have found that the major proportion of these proteins is associated with the detergent-insoluble matrix or cytoskeletal framework of the infected cell from the time of their synthesis until they have matured to their final binding site in the cell nucleus. These results suggest that these two proteins may interact with or bind to the cellular cytoskeleton during or soon after their synthesis and throughout transport into the cell nucleus. In addition, the DNA binding protein remains associated with the nuclear skeleton at times when it is bound to viral DNA. Thus, viral DNA may also be attached to the nuclear framework. We have demonstrated that the DNA binding protein and the capsid protein exchange from the cytoplasmic framework to the nuclear framework, suggesting the direct movement of the proteins from one structure to the other. Inhibition of viral DNA replication enhanced the binding of the DNA binding protein to the cytoskeleton and increased the rate of exchange from the cytoplasmic framework to the nuclear framework, suggesting a functional relationship between these events. Inhibition of viral DNA replication resulted in decreased synthesis and transport of the capsid protein. We have been unable to detect any artificial binding of these proteins to the cytoskeleton when solubilized viral proteins were mixed with a cytoskeletal fraction or a cell monolayer. This suggested that the attachment of these proteins to the cytoskeleton represents the actual state of these proteins within the cell.

Viral Gene Product

The frequency of transformation of rodent fibroblasts by polyomavirus is enhanced by a viral gene product, large T-antigen. However, this effect of large T-antigen cannot be demonstrated with pBR322-cloned viral DNA. Recently, it was discovered that pBR322 contains cis-acting sequences inhibitory to DNA replication in mammalian cells. Because polyomavirus large T-antigen is required for viral DNA replication, we examined the possibility that our inability to demonstrate a requirement for large T-antigen in transformation with pBR322-cloned viral DNA was due to the failure of the chimeric DNA to replicate in the transfected cells. To this end we constructed polyomavirus recombinant molecules with a plasmid (pML-2) that lacks these "poison" sequences and measured their capacity to transform cells. Here we report that recombinant plasmids capable of replicating in the transfected cells transform these cells at frequencies approximately sixfold greater than their replication-defective counterparts.
