Function
[VE2_BPV1] E2 regulates viral transcription and DNA replication. Binds to the E2RE response element (5'-ACCNNNNNNGGT-3') present in multiple copies in the regulatory region. Can either activate or repress transcription depending on E2RE's position with regards to proximal promoter elements. Repression occurs by sterically hindering the assembly of the transcription initiation complex. The E1-E2 complex binds to the origin of DNA replication.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Bovine papillomavirus proteins were extensively studied as a prototype for the human papillomavirus. Here, the crystal structure of the extended E2 DNA-binding domain of the dominant transcription regulator from the bovine papillomavirus strain 1 is described in the space group P31 21. We found two protein functional dimers packed in the asymmetric unit. This new protein arrangement inside the crystal led to the reduction of the mobility of a previously unobserved loop directly involved in the protein-DNA interaction, which was then modelled for the first time.
