Modulation of Bovine Papillomavirus DNA Replication by Phosphorylation of the Viral E1 Protein

Summary: | E1 is the DNA replication origin recognition protein for bovine papillomavirus (BPV), and it carries out enzymatic functions required for initiation of viral DNA replication. Cellular mechanisms likely play a role in regulating BPV DNA replication. We are investigating the role of phosphorylation of E1 on viral replicationin vivoand on E1 activityin vitro.Serine 109 is a phosphoacceptorin vivoand is targeted by protein kinase A and protein kinase Cin vitro.A viral genome carrying a serine 109 to alanine mutation replicates more efficiently than wild-typein vivoin a transient replication assay. Furthermore, purified mutant protein, while having wild-type levels of ATPase activity, is able to bind more origin-containing DNA than wild-type E1. Phosphorylation therefore appears to play a selective role in modulating a specific E1 function during viral DNA replication. |
