RESUMO
The E5 oncoprotein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is the smallest known viral transforming protein. It is a 44 amino acid polypeptide asymmetrically oriented in Golgi and plasma membranes which appears to modify (either directly or indirectly) the internalization and phosphorylation of at least two growth factor receptors: EGF and CSF-1. To identify cellular proteins associated with E5, we have constructed two E5 fusion proteins, each of which contains a well-characterized epitope at the E5 amino terminus. These E5-epitope fusion proteins are biologically active, localize normally to cellular membranes and form dimers. Both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against the inserted epitopes specifically co-precipitate E5 and an associated 16 kd cellular protein. A transformation-defective E5 mutant containing a substitution within the hydrophobic portion of E5 is defective in its ability to bind the 16 kd protein. These findings suggest a role for E5/16 kd binding in the process of cellular transformation.
