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

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...

Description
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.
