Human papillomavirus type-16 (HPV-16) transcription in two human keratinocyte cell lines (HPK) immortalized by transfection of viral DNA in vitro was analyzed by nucleotide sequencing of cDNA clones, and in addition by primer extension analysis and S1 nuclease and exonuclease VII digestion of poly(A)+ RNA. A novel mRNA species which probably initiates in the E7 ORF and in which the 5'-part of the E1 ORF (splice donor at position (pos.) 880) is joined to an exon comprising the entire E2 ORF (splice acceptor at pos. 2708) was found in both cell lines. This mRNA has the potential to encode a full-length E2 protein, which is known to function as a repressor of transcription initiated at P97. cDNAs derived from the late region of the viral genome and the use of a late polyadenylation signal at pos. 7320-7325 are described. In agreement with RNA data published by others the major promoter for HPV-16 transcription is located at pos. 97. mRNA species encoding full-length or truncated forms of the E6 protein, and species characterized by an E1i [symbol see text] E4 splice junction (which provided the E4 open reading frame (ORF) with an ATG triplet) were identified.

The papillomavirus E2 protein is a transcription trans-activator and as such as a paramount effect on viral functions. We have identified and characterized the cottontail rabbit papillomavirus E2 protein expressed from the late simian virus 40 promoter in COS-7 cells. E2 was shown to be a highly phosphorylated 49-kilodalton protein. Subcellular fractionation and indirect immunofluorescent staining indicated that E2 was located in the nuclei. E2 was expressed from a vector which contained just the open reading frame. ORF E2 and also from vectors which extended farther upstream and also expressed E7 or the short E6 protein. However, the level of E2 was very low in cells transfected with a vector expressing the long E6 protein. Mapping of transcripts with nuclease S1 and exonuclease ExoVII in cells expressing the short E6 and E2 proteins showed that E2 was translated from an RNA which encoded the short E6, E7, and E2 proteins but served as mRNA for only the short E6 and E2 proteins.
