Abstract: Mapping studies identified lysine 292 as the principal residue for covalent conjugation of SUMO to HPV16 E2, and a lysine 292 to arginine mutant showed defects for both transcriptional activation and repression.
Abstract: The expression levels, intracellular localization, and the DNA-binding activity of HPV16 E2 were unchanged by this K292R mutation, suggesting that the transcriptional defect reflects a functional contribution by sumoylation at this residue.
Result: Both WT and K292R mutant E2 proteins were predominantly nuclear and partly cytoplasmic, and there was no apparent difference in the distribution of these two types of 16E2 protein.
Result: but only the K292R mutant of 16E2 lost the ability to be sumoylated wh
Identification of an arginine-rich motif in human papillomavirus type 1 E1;E4 protein necessary for E4-mediated inhibition of cellular DNA synthesis in vitro and in cells.
Abstract: HPV1 E4-mediated replication inhibition in vitro and suppression of entry of HPV1 E4-expressing cells into S phase are both abrogated upon alanine replacement of arginine 45 in the full-length E4 protein (E1;E4), implying that these two HPV1 E4 functions are linked.
Human papillomavirus type 45 E7 is a transforming protein inducing retinoblastoma protein degradation and anchorage-independent cell cycle progression.
Abstract: HPV-45 E7C28G did not bind pRb and could neither induce pRb-proteolysis nor promote cell cycle progression.
Abstract: We demonstrate here that the HPV-45 E7 protein transforms immortalized NIH3T3 fibroblasts, while mutations in either the conserved LXCXE sequence (C28G) or the carboxyl-terminus (Delta87LQQLF91) significantly abolish this activity.

Abstract: Among the remaining 31 variants, variants with the T350G nucleotide change were predominant (13/31, 42%), followed by variants containing G94A (11/31, 35%), G176A (4/31, 13%) and G274T (2/31, 7%).
Human Papillomavirus 58 E7 T20I/G63S Variant Isolated from an East Asian Population Possesses High Oncogenicity.
Abstract: Although this study has some limitations such as a small sample size and not enough clinical data, these finding suggests that the distinctive distribution of HPV 16 As-variant E6 D25E and E7 N29S might be associated with geographical dependence rather than disease progression.
Abstract: At the amino acid level, the isolates showed 14 variants including E6 Q14H, E6 D25E, E6 I27R, E6 H78Y, E6 L83V, and E7

Abstract: D32E/N29S mutation rate was 38.9% (28/72), the detection rate increased with the severity of cervical lesions (P < 0.05).
Abstract: A mutation, E6-D32E (T96G) coincided with a specific type of E7 mutation, N29S (A86G).
Abstract: CONCLUSION: HPV 16 was the most common type in women with cervical lesions in Beijing, D32E/N29S variant associated with the cervical lesions.
Activities of human papillomavirus 16 E6 natural variants in human keratinocytes.
Abstract: The I27R/L83V variant showed the lowest activity whereas the R8Q variant showed the highest activity.
Abstract: The L83V polymorphism previously associated with risk for cancer progression in some populations, showed significant activity, comparable to that of the E6 prototype, in reducing p53 and Bax levels.
Abstract: This, and augmentation of other described functions might result in differences in L83V pathogenicity.

Abstract: We applied a sensitive and specific stacking hybridization assay using an oligoarray for the detection of Asian-American (AA) and European (E) (E350G) HPV 16 variants.
HPV16 E6 natural variants exhibit different activities in functional assays relevant to the carcinogenic potential of E6.
Abstract: On the other hand, L83V displayed more efficient degradation of Bax and binding to E6BP, but lower binding to hDlg.
Abstract: The L83V polymorphism, previously associated with risk for cancer progression in some populations, expressed similar levels of activity as that of the E6 prototype in most functional assays.
