Gillitzer, E., Chen, G., Stenlund, A. (June 2000) Separate domains in E1 and E2 proteins serve architectural and productive roles for cooperative DNA binding. Embo Journal, 19 (12). pp. 3069-3079. ISSN 0261-4189
Abstract
The E1 and E2 proteins from bovine papillomavirus bind cooperatively to binding sites in the viral origin of DNA replication. The DNA-binding domains (DBDs) of the two proteins interact with each other, and the E2 transactivation domain interacts with the helicase domain of E1. Mutations that disrupt the interaction between the two DBDs also disrupt the interaction between the E2 activation domain and the E1 helicase domain, demonstrating interdependence of the two interactions. Cooperative binding of the two DBDs generates a sharp bend in the DNA that is required for interaction between the E2 activation domain and E1. This indicates that interaction between the two DBDs plays an architectural role, 'triggering' a productive interaction between the E2 transactivation domain and E1 through introduction of a sharp bend in the DNA. This two-step mechanism may be a required feature for cooperative DNA binding to proximal binding sites.
