Abstract

The El and Et proteins from bovine papillomavirus bind cooperatively to the viral origin of DNA replication (ori), forming a complex which is essential for initiation of DNA replication. Cooperative binding has two components, in which (i) the DNA binding domains (DBDs) of the two proteins interact with each other and (ii) the E2 transactivation domain interacts with the helicase domain of El. By generating specific point mutations in the DBD of E2, we have defined two patches of amino acids that are involved in the interaction with the El DBD. These same mutations, when introduced into the viral genome, result in severely reduced replication of the viral genome, as well as failure to transform mouse cells in tissue culture. Thus, the interaction between the El and E2 DBDs is important for the establishment of the viral genome as an episome and most likely contributes to the formation of a preinitiation complex on the viral ori.
