We have identified a cellular enhancer-binding protein, present in nuclear extracts prepared from human and rodent cells, that binds to the adenovirus E1A enhancer element I sequence. The factor has been termed EF-1A, for enhancer-binding factor to the E1A core motif. EF-1A was found to bind to two adjacent, related sequence motifs in the E1A enhancer region (termed sites A and B). The binding of EF-1A to these adjacent sites, or to synthetic dimerized sites of either motif, was cooperative. The cooperative binding of EF-1A to these sites was not subject to strict spacing constraints. EF-1A also bound to related sequences upstream of the E1A enhancer region and in the polyomavirus and adenovirus E4 enhancer regions. The EF-1A-binding region in the E1A enhancer stimulated expression of a linked gene in human 293 cells when multimerized. Based on the contact sites for EF-1A binding determined by chemical interference assays, this protein appears to be distinct from any previously characterized nuclear binding protein.

ABSTRACT Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) is known to inhibit the promoter activities of several oncogenes and viral genes, including the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6 and E7 transforming genes. However, the target elements of AAV on the long control region (LCR) upstream of E6 and E7 oncogenes are elusive. A chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay was performed to study the effect of AAV on the transcription activity of the HPV-16 LCR in SiHa (HPV-positive) and C-33A (HPV-negative) cells. The results reveal that (i) AAV inhibited HPV-16 LCR activity in a dose-dependent manner, (ii) AAV-mediated inhibition did not require the HPV gene products, and (iii) the AAV replication gene product Rep78 was involved in the inhibition. Deletion mutation analyses of the HPV-16 LCR showed that regulatory elements outside the core promoter region of the LCR may not be direct targets of AAV-mediated inhibition. Further study with the electrophoretic mobility shift assay demonstrated that Rep78 interfered with the binding of TATA-binding protein (TBP) to the TATA box of the p97 core promoter more significantly than it disrupted the preformed TBP-TATA complex. These data thus suggest that Rep78 may inhibit transcription initiation of the HPV-16 LCR by disrupting the interaction between TBP and the TATA box of the p97 core promoter.

ABSTRACT Papillomaviral DNA replicates as extrachromosomal plasmids in squamous epithelium. Viral DNA must segregate equitably into daughter cells to persist in dividing basal/parabasal cells. We have previously reported that the viral origin binding protein E2 of human papillomavirus types 11 (HPV-11), 16, and 18 colocalized with the mitotic spindles. In this study, we show the localization of the HPV-11 E2 protein to be dynamic. It colocalized with the mitotic spindles during prophase and metaphase. At anaphase, it began to migrate to the central spindle microtubules, where it remained through telophase and cytokinesis. It was additionally observed in the midbody at cytokinesis. A peptide spanning residues 285 to 308 in the carboxyl-terminal domain of HPV-11 E2 (E2C) is necessary and sufficient to confer localization on the mitotic spindles. This region is conserved in HPV-11, -16, and -18 and bovine papillomavirus type 4 (BPV-4) E2 and is also required for the respective E2C to colocalize with the mitotic spindles. The E2 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is tethered to the mitotic chromosomes via the cellular protein Brd4. However, the HPV-11 E2 protein did not associate with Brd4 during mitosis. Lastly, a chimeric BPV-1 E2C containing the spindle localization domain from HPV-11 E2C gained the ability to localize to the mitotic spindles, whereas the reciprocal chimera lost the ability. We conclude that this region of HPV E2C is critical for localization with the mitotic apparatus, enabling the HPV DNA to sustain persistent infections.

As p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) localizes to the sites of DNA double-strand breaks and rapidly forms nuclear foci (NF), and its presence may be an indicator of endogenous genomic instability (GIN). We previously showed that 53BP1 NF in cervical cells increase with neoplastic progression, indicating the significance of 53BP1 expression for the estimation of malignant potential during cervical carcinogenesis. This study aimed to further elucidate the impact of 53BP1 expression as a biomarker for cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). A total of 81 tissue samples, including 17 of normal cervical epithelium, 22 of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1, 21 of CIN2, and 21 of CIN3, from patients positive for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) were used for double-label immunofluorescence of 53BP1 and Ki-67/p16INK4a expression and HR-HPV in situ hybridization. We analyzed associations between 53BP1 expression type with parameters such as CIN grade, HR-HPV infection status, p16INK4a expression, and CIN prognosis. Expression type of 53BP1 was significantly associated with histological grade of CIN and HR-HPV in situ hybridization signal pattern ( P < .0001). There was a significant correlation between 53BP1 and p16INK4a expression levels ( r = .73, P < .0001). However, there was no association between 53BP1 expression type and CIN prognosis. We propose that 53BP1 expression type is a valuable biomarker for SIL, which can help estimate the grade and GIN of cervical lesions reflecting replication stress caused by the integration of HR-HPV to the host genome.
