Membrane orientation of the human papillomavirus type 16 E5 oncoprotein.
The E5 protein of human papillomavirus type 16 is a small, hydrophobic protein that localizes predominantly to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To define the orientation of E5 in these membranes, we employed a differential, detergent permeabilization technique that makes use of the ability of low concentrations of digitonin to selectively permeabilize the plasma membrane and saponin...
متن کاملCellular proteins associated with the E5 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus type 16.
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is strongly implicated in the aetiology of premalignant and malignant disease of the cervix. The mechanisms by which HPV-16 induces cell transformation have been the subject of intense investigation for several years. The viral genome encodes three oncoproteins, E5, E6 and E7, but until recently only E6 and E7 were subjected to such scrutiny. The papillomav...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus Type 16 E5 Protein as a Therapeutic Target
Cervical cancer is a progressive disease with an onset of one to two decades on average. During the productive replication stage, the Human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is maintained episomally in the infected cervical epithelium and early gene products, including E5, are expressed. Therefore, E5 has a potential to contribute to the HPV-associated carcinogenic process. In invasive malignancies, ...
متن کاملGolgi Alkalinization by the Papillomavirus E5 Oncoprotein
The E5 oncoprotein of bovine papillomavirus type I is a small, hydrophobic polypeptide localized predominantly in the Golgi complex. E5-mediated transformation is often associated with activation of the PDGF receptor (PDGF-R). However, some E5 mutants fail to induce PDGF-R phosphorylation yet retain transforming activity, suggesting an additional mechanism of action. Since E5 also interacts wit...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus type 16 E7 oncoprotein mediates CCNA1 promoter methylation
Human papillomavirus (HPV) oncoproteins drive distinctive promoter methylation patterns in cancer. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Cyclin A1 (CCNA1) promoter methylation is strongly associated with HPV-associated cancer. CCNA1 methylation is found in HPV-associated cervical cancers, as well as in head and neck squamous cell cancer. Numerous pieces of evidence suggest...
