Brd4 protein has been proposed to act as a cellular receptor for the bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV1) E2 protein in the E2-mediated chromosome attachment and mitotic segregation of viral genomes. Here, we provide data that show the involvement of Brd4 in multiple early functions of the BPV1 life cycle, suggest a Brd4-dependent mechanism for E2-dependent transcription activation, and indicate the role of Brd4 in papillomavirus and polyomavirus replication as well as cell-specific utilization of Brd4-linked features in BPV1 DNA replication. Our data also show the potential therapeutic value of the disruption of the E2-Brd4 interaction for the development of antiviral drugs.
Brd4蛋白被认为在E2介导的病毒基因组染色体附着和有丝分裂分离过程中作为1型牛乳头瘤病毒(BPV1)E2蛋白的细胞受体。在此,我们提供的数据表明Brd4参与BPV1生命周期的多个早期功能,提出了一种依赖Brd4的E2依赖性转录激活机制,并指出了Brd4在乳头瘤病毒和多瘤病毒复制中的作用,以及Brd4相关特征在BPV1 DNA复制中的细胞特异性利用。我们的数据还显示了破坏E2-Brd4相互作用对抗病毒药物开发的潜在治疗价值。
