ABSTRACT The interferon (IFN)-induced protein P56 inhibits human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA replication by binding to HPV E1, which has several distinct functions in initiating viral DNA replication. Here, we determined that P56 inhibited HPV type 18 (HPV18) E1's DNA helicase activity, E2 binding, and HPV Ori sequence-specific DNA binding but not nonspecific DNA binding. We observed that deletion of a single amino acid, F399, produced an E1 mutant that could not bind P56. This E1 mutant retained its ability to support Ori DNA replication, but this activity was not inhibited by IFN, demonstrating that P56 is the principal executor of the anti-HPV action of IFN.

ABSTRACTThe E1 helicase from anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) types interacts with the cellular WD repeat-containing protein UAF1 in complex with the deubiquitinating enzyme USP1, USP12, or USP46. This interaction stimulates viral DNA replication and is required for maintenance of the viral episome in keratinocytes. E1 associates with UAF1 through a short UAF1-binding site (UBS) located within the N-terminal 40 residues of the protein. Here, we investigated if the E1 UBS could be replaced by the analogous domain from an unrelated protein, the pleckstrin homology domain and leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 1 (PHLPP1). We found that PHLPP1 and E1 interact with UAF1 in a mutually exclusive manner and mapped the minimal PHLPP1 UBS (PUBS) to a 100-amino-acid region sufficient for assembly into UAF1-USP complexes. Similarly to the E1 UBS, overexpression of PUBS intransinhibited HPV DNA replication, albeit less efficiently. Characterization of a PHLPP1-E1 chimeric helicase revealed that PUBS could partially substitute for the E1 UBS in enhancing viral DNA replication and that the stimulatory effect of PUBS likely involves recruitment of UAF1-USP complexes, as it was abolished by mutations that weaken UAF1-binding and by overexpression of catalytically inactive USPs. Although functionally similar to the E1 UBS, PUBS is larger in size and requires both the WD repeat region and C-terminal ubiquitin-like domain of UAF1 for interaction, in contrast to E1, which does not contact the latter. Overall, this comparison of two heterologous UBSs indicates that these domains function as transferable protein interaction modules and provide further evidence that the association of E1 with UAF1-containing deubiquitinating complexes stimulates HPV DNA replication.IMPORTANCEThe E1 protein from anogenital HPV types interacts with the UAF1-associated deubiquitinating enzymes USP1, USP12, and USP46 to stimulate replication of the viral genome. Little is known about the molecular nature of the E1-UAF1 interaction and, more generally, how UAF1-USP complexes recognize their substrate proteins. To address this question, we characterized the UAF1-binding site (UBS) of PHLPP1, a protein unrelated to E1. Using a PHLPP1-E1 chimeric helicase, we show that the PHLPP1 UBS (PUBS) can partially substitute for the E1 UBS in stimulating HPV DNA replication. This stimulation required conserved sequences in PUBS that meditate its interaction with UAF1, including a motif common to the E1 UBS. These results indicate that UAF1-binding sequences function as transferable protein interaction modules and provide further evidence that UAF1-USP complexes stimulate HPV DNA 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.

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.

ABSTRACT Two in-frame, C-terminal isoforms of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) origin binding protein (OBP), OBPC-1 and OBPC-2, and a unique C-terminal transcript, UL8.5, are specified by HSV-1 DNA. As the first isoform identified, OBPC-1 was initially assumed to be the product of the UL8.5 transcript. Recent evidence has demonstrated, however, that OBPC-1 is a cathepsin B-mediated cleavage product of OBP, suggesting that OBPC-2 is the product of the UL8.5 transcript. Because both OBPC-1 and -2 contain the majority of the OBP DNA binding domain, we hypothesized that both may be involved in regulating origin-dependent, OBP-mediated viral DNA replication. In this paper, we demonstrate that OBPC-2 is, indeed, the product of the UL8.5 transcript. The translational start site of OBPC-2 was mapped, and a virus (M571A) that does not express this protein efficiently was constructed. Using M571A, we have shown that OBPC-2 is able to bind origin DNA, even though it lacks seven N-terminal amino acid residues of the previously mapped OBP DNA binding domain, resulting in a revision of the limits of the OBP DNA binding domain. Consistent with their proposed roles in regulating viral DNA replication, OBPC-1 and -2 act together to down-regulate viral DNA replication in vitro. During functional studies in vivo, OBPC-2 was identified as a factor that increases mortality in the mouse ocular model of HSV-1 infection.

ABSTRACTTo replicate the double-stranded human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) DNA genome, viral proteins E1 and E2 associate with the viral origin of replication, and E2 can also regulate transcription from adjacent promoters. E2 interacts with host proteins in order to regulate both transcription and replication; TopBP1 and Brd4 are cellular proteins that interact with HPV16 E2. Previous work with E2 mutants demonstrated the Brd4 requirement for the transactivation properties of E2, while TopBP1 is required for DNA replication induced by E2 from the viral origin of replication in association with E1. More-recent studies have also implicated Brd4 in the regulation of DNA replication by E2 and E1. Here, we demonstrate that both TopBP1 and Brd4 are present at the viral origin of replication and that interaction with E2 is required for optimal initiation of DNA replication. Both cellular proteins are present in E1-E2-containing nuclear foci, and the viral origin of replication is required for the efficient formation of these foci. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against either TopBP1 or Brd4 destroys the E1-E2 nuclear bodies but has no effect on E1-E2-mediated levels of DNA replication. An E2 mutation in the context of the complete HPV16 genome that compromises Brd4 interaction fails to efficiently establish episomes in primary human keratinocytes. Overall, the results suggest that interactions between TopBP1 and E2 and between Brd4 and E2 are required to correctly initiate DNA replication but are not required for continuing DNA replication, which may be mediated by alternative processes such as rolling circle amplification and/or homologous recombination.IMPORTANCEHuman papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) is causative in many human cancers, including cervical and head and neck cancers, and is responsible for the annual deaths of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. The current vaccine will save lives in future generations, but antivirals targeting HPV16 are required for the alleviation of disease burden on the current, and future, generations. Targeting viral DNA replication that is mediated by two viral proteins, E1 and E2, in association with cellular proteins such as TopBP1 and Brd4 would have therapeutic benefits. This report suggests a role for these cellular proteins in the initiation of viral DNA replication by HPV16 E1-E2 but not for continuing replication. This is important if viral replication is to be effectively targeted; we need to understand the viral and cellular proteins required at each phase of viral DNA replication so that it can be effectively disrupted.

ABSTRACT Baculovirus DNA binding protein (DBP) binds preferentially single-stranded DNA in vitro and colocalizes with viral DNA replication sites. Here, its putative role as viral replication factor has been addressed by RNA interference. Silencing of DBP in Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus-infected cells increased expression of LEF-3, LEF-4, and P35. In contrast, expression of the structural genes coding for P39 and polyhedrin was suppressed while expression of genes coding for P10 and GP64 was unaffected. In the absence of DBP, viral DNA replication sites were formed, indicating replication of viral DNA. Electron microscopy studies, however, revealed a loss of formation of polyhedra and virus envelopment, suggesting that the primary role of DBP is viral formation rather than viral DNA replication.
