Abstract

Human papillomaviruses have 8kbp DNA episomal genomes that replicate autonomously from host DNA. During initial infection, the virus increases its copy number to 20–50 copies per cell, causing torsional stress on the replicating DNA. This activates the DNA damage response (DDR) and HPV replicates its genome, at least in part, using homologous recombination. An active DDR is on throughout the HPV life cycle. Two viral proteins are required for replication of the viral genome; E2 binds to 12bp palindromic sequences around the A/T rich origin of replication and recruits the viral helicase E1 via a protein–protein interaction. E1 forms a di-hexameric complex that replicates the viral genome in association with host factors. Transient replication assays following transfection with E1–E2 expression plasmids, along with an origin containing plasmid, allow monitoring of E1-E2 replication activity. Incorporating a bacterial lacZ gene into the origin plasmid allows for the determination of replication fidelity. Here we describe how we exploited this system to investigate replication and repair in mammalian cells, including using damaged DNA templates. We propose that this system has the potential to enhance the understanding of cellular components involved in DNA replication and repair.
