The E4 (also called E1--E4) and E2 proteins of human papillomavirus type 16 are thought to be expressed within the same cells of a lesion, and their open reading frames overlap, suggesting that they may have a functional relationship. We have examined the effect of co-expression of these two proteins and found that each enhances the level of the other. We also identified the N-terminus of E2 as the first example of a viral protein that directly binds the HPV16 E1--E4 protein. This appears to result in the E2 becoming less soluble and promotes its relocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, the turnover of the E2 protein is decreased in the presence of E1--E4. All this raises the possibility that E1--E4 acts to influence E2 activity by varying the amount of available E2 in the cell.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
