RESUMO
The human papillomavirus (HPV) E5 proteins are predicted from DNA sequence analysis to be small hydrophobic molecules, and the HPV type 6 (HPV-6) and HPV-11 E5 proteins share several structural similarities with the bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) E5 protein. Also similar to the BPV-1 E5 protein, the HPV-6 and HPV-16 E5 proteins exhibit transforming activity when assayed on NIH 3T3 and C127 cells. In this study, we expressed epitope-tagged E5 proteins from both the "low-risk" HPV-6 and the "high-risk" HPV-16 in order to permit their immunologic identification and biochemical characterization. While the HPV-6 and HPV-16 E5 proteins fail to form disulfide-linked dimers and oligomers, they did resemble the BPV-1 E5 protein in their intracellular localization to the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclear membranes. In addition, the HPV E5 proteins also bound to the 16-kDa pore-forming protein component of the vacuolar ATPase, a known characteristic of the BPV-1 E5 protein. These studies reveal a common intramembrane localization and potential cellular protein target for both the BPV and HPV E5 proteins.
