The E5 proteins of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) and human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) are small (44-83 amino acids), hydrophobic polypeptides that localize to membranes of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, respectively. While the oncogenic properties of BPV-1 E5 have been characterized in detail, less is known about HPV-16 E5 due to its low expression in mammalian cells. Using codon-optimized HPV-16 E5 DNA, we have generated stable fibroblast cell lines that express equivalent levels of epitope-tagged BPV-1 and HPV-16 E5 proteins. In contrast to BPV-1 E5, HPV-16 E5 does not activate growth factor receptors, phosphoinositide 3-kinase or c-Src, and fails to induce focus formation, although it does promote anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. These variant activities are apparently unrelated to differences in intracellular localization of the E5 proteins since retargeting HPV-16 E5 to the Golgi apparatus does not induce focus formation.
1型牛乳头瘤病毒(BPV-1)和16型人乳头瘤病毒(HPV-16)的E5蛋白是小的(44 - 83个氨基酸)疏水性多肽,分别定位于高尔基体和内质网的膜上。虽然BPV-1 E5的致癌特性已得到详细表征,但由于其在哺乳动物细胞中表达水平较低,关于HPV-16 E5的了解较少。使用密码子优化的HPV-16 E5 DNA,我们构建了稳定的成纤维细胞系,这些细胞系表达等量的带有表位标签的BPV-1和HPV-16 E5蛋白。与BPV-1 E5不同,HPV-16 E5不激活生长因子受体、磷酸肌醇3激酶或c-Src,也不能诱导灶形成,尽管它确实能促进在软琼脂中的非锚定依赖性生长。这些不同的活性显然与E5蛋白在细胞内定位的差异无关,因为将HPV-16 E5重新定位到高尔基体并不能诱导灶形成。
