Proteomic analysis of the gamma human papillomavirus type 197 E6 and E7 associated cellular proteins.

ABSTRACT: Gamma HPV197 was the most frequently identified HPV when human skin cancer specimens were analyzed by deep sequencing (Arroyo Muhr et al., Int. J. Cancer 136: 2546-55, 2015). To gain insight into the biological activities of HPV197, we investigated the cellular interactomes of HPV197 E6 and E7. HPV197 E6 protein interacts with a broad spectrum of cellular LXXLL domain proteins, including UBE3A and MAML1. HPV197 E6 also binds and inhibits the TP53 tumor suppressor and interacts with the CCR4-NOT ubiquitin ligase and deadenylation complex. Despite lacking a canonical retinoblastoma (RB1) tumor suppressor binding site, HPV197 E7 binds RB1 and activates E2F transcription. Hence, HPV197 E6 and E7 proteins interact with a similar set of cellular proteins as E6 and E7 proteins encoded by HPVs that have been linked to human carcinogenesis and/or have transforming activities in vitro.
