Abstract

All cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoproteins have a C-terminal PDZ-binding motif (PBM), which correlates with oncogenic potential. Nonetheless, several HPVs with little or no oncogenic potential also have an E6 PBM, with minor sequence differences affecting PDZ protein selectivity. Furthermore, certain HPV types have a phospho-acceptor site embedded within the PBM. We therefore compared HPV-18, HPV-66 and HPV-40 E6 proteins to examine the possible link between the ability to target multiple PDZ proteins and the acquisition of a phospho-acceptor site. The mutation of essential residues in HPV-18E6 reduces its phosphorylation, and fewer PDZ substrates are bound. In contrast, the generation of consensus phospho-acceptor sites in HPV-66 and HPV-40 E6 PBMs increases the PDZ proteins recognized. Thus, although phosphorylation of the E6 PBM and PDZ protein recognition are mutually exclusive, they are closely linked, with the acquisition of a phospho-acceptor site also contributing to an expansion in the number of PDZ proteins bound.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
