Abstract
Papillomaviruses can cause benign or malignant proliferations on the host's skin and mucous membranes. Recent genetic studies have identified many new papillomavirus types. In this study, molecular detection and typing was performed on papilloma samples from eight hair goats with teat papillomatosis. The papilloma samples were tested with degenerate (FAP59/FAP64,MY09/MY11) and type-specific primers. One sample was positive with degenerate (MY09/MY11) and two samples were positive with Caprahircus papillomavirus-1 type specific primers. The MY09/MY11 primer sequence indicated identity to the closest Ovine papillomavirus type-2 (77.9%). The ChPV-1 primer sequence was similar to the closest ChPV-1 (99.4%). Investigating papillomavirus types in different animal species is important for determining the evolution, prevalence, host range, and interspecies transmission potential of papillomaviruses, and to indicate suitable therapeutics for later development.

Abstract
An emaciated, adult, free-ranging roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) presenting a large mandibular mass, was shot by a game warden in Sissach, Switzerland. The head of the roe deer was submitted to the Center for Fish and Wildlife Health for examination. Grossly, the mass consisted of a 6 × 7 × 4 cm mandibular exophytic growth, associated with loss of incisors teeth. On cut section, a hard, light-tan core was rimmed by a thick layer of soft tissue. Computed tomography examination confirmed the mandibular origin of the mass. Histologically, the mass consisted of an unencapsulated fibro-osseous neoplasm. The bony portion was composed of multiple haphazardly arranged spicules rimmed by osteoblasts with no associated periosteal layer. Embedding the bony spicules were short anastomosing and branching streams and bundles of spindled cells. The overlaying partially ulcerated mucosa, showed prominent rete ridges deepening into the submucosa. In addition to the mandibular mass, multiple soft cauliflower-like proliferations were expanding from the gingival surface. Histologically, these masses were arranged in papillary elements composed of pluristratified squamous epithelium with long rete ridges extending into a rich underlying fibrovascular supportive stroma. Neither papillomaviral DNA nor antigen could be identified in association with the oral masses. The gross, histological and radiological features of the mandibular mass are consistent with an ossifying fibroma, while the cauliflower oral masses were diagnosed as papillomas.

Abstract
A pedunculated cauliflower-like mass was detected on the left posterior limb of a subadult male red deer (Cervus elaphus) after a hunt in Portugal. Histologically the lesion was classified as cutaneous fibropapilloma. The identification of Cervus elaphus papillomavirus (CePV-1 variant) was based on sequencing of the L1 gene. The L2 sequence revealed a nine-nucleotide deletion, as already reported in the Italian and Hungarian CePV-1, further supporting the theory that this is a distinctive genomic characteristic of this viral variant, as this feature has been found in distinct cases from geographically distant countries. In addition, a coinfection with bovine papillomavirus was evidenced by amplification and sequencing of the E5 gene, confirming the ability of Delta papillomaviruses to cross-infect different animal species and providing more evidence that wildlife may act as reservoir for papillomaviruses affecting domestic species. Papillomavirus infection in red deer has been sporadically described in different European countries; in this work, we describe the identification of a CePV-1 variant infection associated with a red deer fibropapilloma in Portugal.

Genomic characterization of a novel Epsilonpapillomavirus associated with pigmented papillomas in a red deer (Cervus elaphus). Virus Genes 2016; 52:633-9.

Abstract
Two of a group of 15 farmed European red (Cervus elaphus elaphus) X wapiti (C. e. canadensis) deer stags developed multiple persistent pigmented squamous papillomas (warts) on their chins. DNA was extracted from a papilloma and a short section of DNA from a novel papillomavirus (PV) was amplified. This short sequence was used to design 'outward facing' primers to amplify the remainder of the circular PV DNA. The PCR product was sequenced using next-generation sequencing and the full genome of the PV, consisting of 8082 bp, was assembled and analysed. The novel PV was designated Cervus elaphus papillomavirus (CePV) type 2. The putative coding regions of CePV2 were predicted to produce four early and two late proteins with two other potential ORFs also noted. Phylogenetic analysis of ORF L1 revealed greater than 60 %, but less than 70 % similarity, to Bos taurus papillomavirus (BPV) types -5 and -7. As both BPV5 and BPV7 are Epsilonpapillomavirus 1, CePV2 is proposed as the first Epsilonpapillomavirus 2 PV type. This is the first EpsilonPV to be identified in a non-bovine species and the first non-DeltaPV to be identified as a cause of disease in any deer species.

Abstract
We describe a novel papillomavirus - Rusa alfredi papillomavirus 1 (RalPV1) - which causes endemic fibropapillomatosis in the European conservation breeding population of the highly endangered Visayan spotted deer (Rusa alfredi). Degenerated papillomavirus-specific primers were used to amplify and sequence parts of the viral DNA. Subsequently, the complete genomic DNA was cloned and the sequence was determined. The RalPV1 genome has a length of 8029 bp, encodes the early proteins E6, E7, E1, E2 and E5, the two late proteins L1 and L2 and contains an upstream regulatory region. Highest sequence identities were observed with two deltapapillomaviruses, the Capreolus capreolus PV1 and Cervus elaphus PV1. Pairwise comparisons and phylogenetic analysis based on the ORF L1 suggested that RalPV1 is a putative new type of the papillomavirus species Deltapapillomavirus 5.

Abstract
We investigated healthy skin and mucosal specimens of wild ruminants in the Italian Alps. We identified bovine papillomavirus (BPV)-2 DNA in the healthy skin of wild ruminants and documented coinfection of BPV-1 and Cervus elaphus papillomavirus (CePV)-1 in a healthy red deer (Cervus elaphus). We also demonstrated cross-infections of BPVs of the genus Xipapillomavirus, both as single virus infection and also in association with Deltapapillomavirus types 1 and 2, confirming that host tropism of papillomaviruses is not as species-specific as previously thought. Our results suggest that subclinical infections could be linked to the presence of domestic ruminants sharing the same habitat with wild species and that the wildlife may act as a reservoir for papillomaviruses affecting domestic species.

Abstract
We provide an overview of the host range, taxonomic classification and genomic diversity of animal papillomaviruses. The complete genomes of 112 non-human papillomavirus types, recovered from 54 different host species, are currently available in GenBank. The recent characterizations of reptilian papillomaviruses extend the host range of the Papillomaviridae to include all amniotes. Although the genetically diverse papillomaviruses have a highly conserved genomic lay-out, deviations from this prototypic genome organization are observed in several animal papillomaviruses, and only the core ORFs E1, E2, L2 and L1 are present in all characterized papillomavirus genomes. The discovery of papilloma-polyoma hybrids BPCV1 and BPCV2, containing a papillomaviral late region but an early region encoding typical polyomaviral nonstructural proteins, and the detection of recombination breakpoints between the early and late coding regions of cetacean papillomaviruses, could indicate that early and late gene cassettes of papillomaviruses are relatively independent entities that can be interchanged by recombination.

Abstract
Papillomaviruses (PVs) have been widely identified among vertebrates, but have not yet been reported to infect yaks. We report, for the first time, a novel deltapapillomavirus that was associated with fibropapilloma in yak herds on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Six skin papilloma samples were collected and examined using histopathology, immunohistochemistry and PCR assays. The samples were identified as fibropapilloma and were found to contain PV antigens. Sequencing of diagnostic PCR products and the full-length genome revealed that all samples were infected with the same PV type. The whole virus genome was 7946 bp in length and possessed the common PV genomic organization. The virus was identified as a novel PV type and designated Bos grunniens papillomavirus type 1 (BgPV-1) based on the nucleotide sequence alignment of the L1 ORF. It is classified in the Delta-4 species of the genus Deltapapillomavirus based on phylogenetic analysis of the L1 ORF. Identification of this novel PV type provides further information about the pathology, development of diagnostic methods and evolutionary studies of the family Papillomaviridae.

Abstract
We present an expansion of the classification of the family Papillomaviridae, which now contains 29 genera formed by 189 papillomavirus (PV) types isolated from humans (120 types), non-human mammals, birds and reptiles (64, 3 and 2 types, respectively). To accommodate the number of PV genera exceeding the Greek alphabet, the prefix "dyo" is used, continuing after the Omega-PVs with Dyodelta-PVs. The current set of human PVs is contained within five genera, whereas mammalian, avian and reptile PVs are contained within 20, 3 and 1 genera, respectively. We propose standardizations to the names of a number of animal PVs. As prerequisite for a coherent nomenclature of animal PVs, we propose founding a reference center for animal PVs. We discuss that based on emerging species concepts derived from genome sequences, PV types could be promoted to the taxonomic level of species, but we do not recommend implementing this change at the current time.

Abstract
By using random PCR amplification, shotgun sequencing and sequence similarity searches, we analysed nucleic acids present in cell cultures inoculated with samples from unexplained cases of encephalitis. We identified a divergent human papillomavirus (HPV) sequence originating from a rectal swab. The full genome was amplified by inverse PCR and sequenced. The prototype of the sixth gammapapillomavirus species, HPV116, was not found in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid or respiratory secretions, nor in culture supernatants from other unexplained cases of encephalitis, indicating that its identification in an encephalitis patient was accidental.

Abstract
Roe deer papillomavirus (CcPV1) infection has been identified as an endemic disease in roe deer populations of the Carpathian basin in Central Europe (Hungary, Austria and Croatia). The disease is characterised by easily recognizable skin tumours similar to deer papillomavirus infection of North American deer species. In 2006, a questionnaire study was conducted among all Hungarian game management units (GMUs) in order to assess the distribution of the disease and its major epidemiological features. Categorical information was collected about disease occurrence, trend and frequency of detection, on primarily affected age classes in both sexes, and association of lesions with mortality. Replies were received from 539 GMUs representing 50.9% of total GMU territory and disease presence was reported by 295 (54.7%) GMUs. Older age classes of both sexes were found to be more affected. Association of various environmental factors with disease occurrence was evaluated and data were collected on the occurrence of similar skin lesions in other European countries. Pathological features of CcPV1 infection were described and the localisation of both CcPV1 antigen and DNA was characterised by immunohistochemistry and in situ DNA hybridisation in skin lesions. Virus presence was also demonstrated by PCR and PCR product sequencing.

Abstract
The complete genomic DNA of a novel roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) papillomavirus (CcPV1) was amplified and sequenced from fibropapillomatous skin lesions of a Hungarian roe deer. Viral DNA was detected by a pair of degenerate primers and the remaining genomic sequence was amplified by a long-template high-fidelity PCR and sequenced. The CcPV1 genome was 8032 bp long and contained open reading frames (ORFs) typical for Delta-papillomaviruses (E6, E7, E1, E2, E4, E5, E9, L2, and L1) and a 799 bp long untranslated regulatory region (URR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 3861 bp long concatenated sequence of the E1-E2-L2-L1 ORFs and on separate alignments of all major ORFs using both neighbour-joining and maximum parsimony methods placed CcPV1 on a distinct branch between Ovine papillomavirus 1 and the other deer papillomaviruses within the Delta-papillomavirus genus, although pairwise nucleotide alignments of L1 ORF sequences determined highest identities with European Elk Papillomavirus (71.2%) and Reindeer Papillomavirus (70.3%).

Abstract
Eight bovine papillomavirus (BPV) types, BPV-1–8, have been classified, based on genome nucleotide sequence similarities, in the genera Deltapapillomavirus (BPV-1 and -2), Epsilonpapillomavirus (BPV-5 and -8), Xipapillomavirus (BPV-3, -4 and -6) and an unassigned genus (BPV-7). We report here the complete genome sequence of two new BPV types isolated from separate epithelial squamous papilloma lesions on cattle teats. The genomes are 7303 and 7399 bp in length, respectively, and both have genetic organization and consensus motifs typical of papillomaviruses. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree revealed that both viruses cluster with BPV-3, -4 and -6. Nucleotide sequence identities of the BPV L1 major capsid protein of these two new BPVs with BPV-3, their closest relative, are 74.2 and 71.2 %, respectively. These results suggest that both viruses are new BPV types in the genus Xipapillomavirus, and they are designated BPV-9 and BPV-10.

Abstract
Conservation efforts to prevent the extinction of the endangered western barred bandicoot (Perameles bougainville) are currently hindered by a progressively debilitating cutaneous and mucocutaneous papillomatosis and carcinomatosis syndrome observed in captive and wild populations. In this study, we detected a novel virus, designated the bandicoot papillomatosis carcinomatosis virus type 1 (BPCV1), in lesional tissue from affected western barred bandicoots using multiply primed rolling-circle amplification and PCR with the cutaneotropic papillomavirus primer pairs FAP59/FAP64 and AR-L1F8/AR-L1R9. Sequencing of the BPCV1 genome revealed a novel prototype virus exhibiting genomic properties of both the Papillomaviridae and the Polyomaviridae. Papillomaviral properties included a large genome size ( approximately 7.3 kb) and the presence of open reading frames (ORFs) encoding canonical L1 and L2 structural proteins. The genomic organization in which structural and nonstructural proteins were encoded on different strands of the double-stranded genome and the presence of ORFs encoding the nonstructural proteins large T and small t antigens were, on the other hand, typical polyomaviral features. BPCV1 may represent the first member of a novel virus family, descended from a common ancestor of the papillomaviruses and polyomaviruses recognized today. Alternatively, it may represent the product of ancient recombination between members of these two virus families. The discovery of this virus could have implications for the current taxonomic classification of Papillomaviridae and Polyomaviridae and can provide further insight into the evolution of these ancient virus families.

Abstract
The E2 protein segregates episomal bovine papillomavirus (BPV) genomes to daughter cells by tethering them to mitotic chromosomes, thus ensuring equal distribution and retention of viral DNA. To date, only the BPV1 E2 protein has been shown to bind to mitotic chromosomes. We assessed the localization of 13 different animal and human E2 proteins from seven papillomavirus genera, and we show that most of them are stably bound to chromosomes throughout mitosis. Furthermore, in contrast to the random association of BPV1 E2 with mitotic chromosomes, several of these proteins appear to bind to more specific regions of mitotic chromosomes. Using human papillomavirus (HPV) type 8 E2, we show that this region is adjacent to centromeres/kinetochores. Therefore, E2 proteins from both HPV and animal papillomavirus bind to mitotic chromosomes, and there are variations in the specificity of this binding. Only the alpha-papillomavirus E2 proteins do not stably associate with mitotic chromatin throughout mitosis. These proteins closely associate with prophase chromosomes and bind to chromosomes in telophase but not in metaphase. However, extraction of mitotic cells before fixation results in alpha-E2 proteins binding to the pericentromeric region of metaphase chromosomes, as observed for HPV8 E2. We postulate that this is the authentic target of these E2 proteins but that additional factors or a specialized cellular environment is required to stabilize this association. Thus, E2-mediated tethering of viral genomes to mitotic chromosomes is a common strategy of papillomaviruses, but different viruses have evolved different variations of this theme.

Abstract
Partial sequences of a novel papillomavirus were amplified from a cutaneous lesion biopsy of a raccoon (Procyon lotor), by using PCR with degenerate papillomavirus-specific primers. The Procyon lotor papillomavirus type 1 (PlPV-1) DNA was amplified with long template PCR in two overlapping fragments, together encompassing the entire genome, and the complete PlPV-1 genomic sequence was determined. The PlPV-1 genome consists of 8170 bp, and contains the typical papillomaviral open reading frames, encoding five early proteins and two late capsid proteins. Besides the classical non-coding region (NCR1) between the end of L1 and the start of E6, PlPV-1 contains an additional non-coding region (NCR2) of 1065 bp between the early and late protein region, which has previously also been described for the canine oral papillomavirus (COPV) and the Felis domesticus papillomavirus (FdPV-1). Phylogenetic analysis places PlPV-1 together with COPV and FdPV-1 in a monophyletic branch which encompasses the Lambda papillomavirus genus.

Abstract
A novel papillomavirus was cloned from hyperkeratotic cutaneous lesions of a Persian domestic cat. The Felis domesticus papillomavirus (FdPV-1) genome counts 8300 bp and has a typical genome structure with an early region (E1, E2, E4, E6, E7), a late region (L1, L2), and a noncoding upstream regulatory region (URR or NCR1) between the end of L1 and the beginning of E6. The FdPV-1 also shows an unusual second noncoding region (NCR2) of 1.3 kb, situated between the end of E2 and the beginning of L2. This NCR2 is uniquely related to a similar region in the canine oral papillomavirus (COPV). Phylogenetic analysis places FdPV-1 together with COPV, the cottontail rabbit papillomavirus, human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1), and HPV-63 in the group of the benign cutaneous papillomaviruses. The position of FdPV-1 in the phylogenetic tree allows us to hypothesize that already in an early phase of the papillomavirus molecular evolution, a split occurred into viruses with a dual tropism primarily for cutaneous epithelia but also secondarily for mucosal surfaces, and viruses with a specific monotropism for mucosal surfaces. The close relationship between FdPV-1 and COPV, and between their Canidae and Felidae hosts, supports the hypothesis that papillomaviruses have speciated and coevolved together with their hosts throughout vertebrate evolution. A papillomavirus mutation rate of 0.73 to 0.96 x 10(-8) nucleotide substitutions per base per year was calculated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether vaccine site-associated sarcomas (VSS) from cats contain papillomavirus antigen or DNA. SAMPLE POPULATION 50 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of VSS from cats. PROCEDURE Sections from each tissue block were evaluated for papillomavirus antigen by use of an avidin-biotin-complex immunohistochemical staining method, using rabbit anti-bovine papillomavirus type-1 antibody. The DNA was extracted from sections of each tissue block, and polymerase chain reaction assays were performed, using primers designed to amplify regions of the E5 gene of bovine papillomavirus and consensus primers designed to amplify a region of the L1 gene of animal papillomaviruses. Sections from 20 of the tissue blocks were evaluated by use of nonradioactive in situ hybridization for bovine papillomavirus DNA. RESULTS Papillomavirus antigen and DNA were not detected in any of the VSS. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggest that papillomaviruses likely do not have any direct involvement in the pathogenesis of VSS in cats.

Abstract
Studies of human papillomaviruses (HPV) are hampered by the lack of a conventional culture system, because HPV completes its life cycle only in fully differentiated human tissue. To overcome this obstacle, the athymic mouse xenograft system has been used to study the pathogenesis of a limited number of HPV types. We recently reported the propagation of a novel HPV type in the mouse xenograft system and the cloning of its genome. Consensus primer PCR had previously identified this virus as MM7, LVX82, or PAP291. Here we report the nucleotide sequence of the 8104-bp genome of this virus, now called HPV 83. HPV 83 is most closely related to HPV 61 and HPV 72, placing it in the papillomavirus genome homology group A3. Based on limited epidemiological data, the histological appearance of infected human foreskin implants, and the structure of the predicted HPV 83 E7 protein, this virus is probably of at least intermediate cancer risk. Like other papillomaviruses, HPV 83 produces an E1 E4, E5 transcript, but the position of the splice acceptor differs from that of other HPVs. The presence of an E5 open reading frame in the HPV 83 genome is uncertain; the most likely candidate to be the HPV 83 E5 protein has some structural similarity to the bovine papillomavirus 1 E5 oncoprotein, and is unlike most other HPV E5 proteins. HPV 83 is a relatively prevalent genital papillomavirus that has the largest genome of any characterized HPV and several other novel structural features that merit further study.

Abstract
Papillomatous lesions were isolated from the mammary skin of goats and examined for evidence of papillomavirus (PV) infection by various criteria, including gross morphology, histology and DNA hybridization. Although some lesions showed gross papillomatous morphological and histological features similar to those caused by papillomavirus in other species, no viral particles were detected. Reverse slot hybridization revealed cross-hybridization between DNA extracted from goat mammary papillomas and human papillomaviruses (HPV). Southern blot, using ovine papillomavirus (OPV) and bovine papillomavirus type 5 (BPV 5) DNA probes under conditions of reduced stringency (Tm -40 degrees C), detected homologous sequences in 40% of the biopsies. DNA fragments corresponding probably to a monomeric form (7000-8000 bp) of an unknown papillomavirus genome were detected. This study provides evidence for the existence of papillomavirus-like sequences in caprine mammary papillomas and suggests that a papillomavirus is likely to be involved in the development of precancerous lesions of goat mammary skin.

Abstract
We report that the genomes of reindeer papillomavirus (RPV), European elk papillomavirus (EEPV), and deer papillomavirus (DPV) contain a short conserved translational open reading frame (ORF), E9, which is located between the E5 ORF and the early polyadenylation site. In RPV, DPV, and EEPV, E9 ORFs have the potential to encode extremely hydrophobic polypeptides of approximately 40 amino acids. In mouse C127 cells transformed by EEPV and RPV, there exists a unique, abundant mRNA species of approximately 700 nucleotides which has the capacity to encode an E9 polypeptide. This mRNA is transcribed from a previously unrecognized promoter at position 4030 in the EEPV genome. The EEPV E9 ORF exhibits weak transforming activity in C127 cells and primary rat embryo fibroblasts. We also show that EEPV E5 is the major oncogene in the EEPV genome when assayed in C127 cells, although it is less efficient in transformation than the E5 genes of bovine papillomavirus type 1, DPV, and RPV.

Abstract
Canine oral papillomavirus (COPV) DNA was isolated from two different sources. One of these DNAs was molecularly cloned and its physical map was determined. Hybridization analyses using subgenomic fragments of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) and human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) as probes revealed that the cloned COPV shared moderate homology within the E1 and L1 regions of BPV-1 and HPV16, whereas homology in other regions of BPV-1 and HPV16 was low. The putative L1 gene of COPV was sequenced and several conserved regions, including antigenic epitopes which are common in other known papillomaviruses, were analyzed.

Abstract
The 44-amino-acid E5 transforming protein of bovine papillomavirus can induce growth transformation of cultured rodent fibroblast cell lines. Previous studies revealed that efficient transformation of mouse C127 cells by the E5 protein required a central core of hydrophobic amino acids and several specific carboxyl-terminal amino acids. Although a randomly derived sequence of hydrophobic amino acids could functionally replace the wild-type hydrophobic core, most such sequences could not. We show here that the conserved glutamine at position 17 in the hydrophobic domain is also important for transformation and that insertion of the glutamine can rescue the transforming activity of many but not all otherwise defective mutants containing random hydrophobic sequences. However, a class of mutants was identified that transform efficiently even in the absence of glutamine, demonstrating that the presence of this amino acid is not absolutely required for efficient transformation. E5 proteins containing the glutamine appear to display increased homodimer formation compared with mutant proteins lacking the glutamine, but this amino acid has no apparent effect on protein stability.

Abstract
The E1 open reading frame of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) was expressed as a RecA-E1 fusion protein in Escherichia coli. The bacterially expressed RecA-E1 protein exhibited sequence-specific DNA binding activity; strong binding to the region from nucleotides 7819 to 93 on the BPV genome (designated region A) and weak binding to the adjacent region from nucleotides 7457 to 7818 (region B) were observed. The interaction between the BPV-derived RecA-E1 protein and region A appeared to be highly specific for BPV DNA, as no comparable binding was detected with heterologous papillomavirus DNAs. Binding to region A was eliminated by digestion of region A at the unique HpaI site, which suggests that the RecA-E1 binding site(s) was at or near the HpaI recognition sequence. Binding to region B but not region A was observed when nuclear extracts from ID13 cells were used as a source of E1 proteins. The absence of region A binding by ID13 extracts may reflect a negative regulation of E1 DNA binding activity.

Abstract
The nucleotide string TAAAACGAAAGT is the longest perfect homology shared by all sequenced human papillomavirus genomes. This nucleotide string, which was also found to be highly specific for human papillomavirus genomes, shares the same genomic position in all viral types (5' end of the E1 open reading frame) and putatively codes in every case for the same amino acids. One possible evolutionary model was used to estimate the probability of random occurrence of the nucleotide string in 10 human papillomavirus genomes. It assumed that the universal string had been subjected to the same mutation rate as the entire E1 open reading frame. The estimated probability was found to be very low, suggesting that the conservation of the string could not have resulted from random divergence and that its conservation among human papillomaviruses is likely to reflect the occurrence of biological constraints. It is speculated that this nucleotide string may be required to code for amino acids indispensable for the nuclear localization of E1-coded peptides or to bind cellular factors affecting viral replicative functions. Definitive evidence is expected to come from oligonucleotide-protein binding experiments and from site-directed mutagenesis of cloned HPV genomes. This motif, universal among human papillomaviruses, is being successfully used in the design of consensus primers from the early region.

Abstract
We determined the biological activities of the 44-amino-acid deer papillomavirus (DPV) E5 protein in mouse C127 cells. The DPV E5 gene can induce focus formation, stable and acute morphologic transformation, and DNA synthesis, and it activates the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta receptor as assessed by increased constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of mature and precursor receptor forms. Thus, the DPV E5 protein has biological activities similar to those of the closely related E5 protein from bovine papillomavirus type 1. Moreover, like the bovine papillomavirus type 1 E5 protein, the DPV E5 protein shares a short region of sequence similarity with the B chain of PDGF. These results show that activation of the PDGF receptor is a general property of fibropapillomavirus E5 proteins, lending support to our previous proposal (L. Petti, L. Nilson, and D. DiMaio, EMBO J. 10:845-855, 1991) that activation of the PDGF receptor may play a central role in transformation of fibroblasts by E5 proteins.

Abstract
A subtype of human papillomavirus 5 (HPV-5b) is closely associated with carcinomas in the disease epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV). The complete genome was cloned from virus particles in benign lesions of a patient with EV and sequenced: it was 7779 nucleotides long and consisted of six open reading frames (ORFs) (E6, E7, E1, E2, E4, and E5) in the early region, three ORFs (L2, L3, and L1) in the late region, and a noncoding region, all existing on one DNA strand. The 40% segment of the HPV-5b genome specifically amplified in carcinomas was cloned from a primary carcinoma of the same EV patient and sequenced: it was 3143 nucleotides long and corresponded to a segment of the original HPV-5b genome containing the entire sequences of E6, E7, and the noncoding region and portions of E1 and L1. Compared to the whole genomic DNA, no mutations were detected in this probable malignancy-associated viral subgenomic segment cloned from carcinoma. These results suggest that amplification of the viral segment containing E6, E7, and the noncoding region may play a role in the malignant conversion of HPV-5b-infected benign lesions and that mutations in these genes or regions are not necessarily required.

Abstract
The 7833-bp nucleotide sequence of human papillomavirus type 39 (HPV39), which is associated with genital intraepithelial neoplasias and invasive carcinomas, has been determined. The genome organization deduced from the sequence shares characteristic features with other genital papillomaviruses. According to sequence comparisons, HPV39 most closely resembles HPV18 and may be a member of a subgroup of genital papillomaviruses distinct from the HPV16/31/33 group. As a novel feature, we report a 1.3-kb open reading frame on the DNA strand which lacks major open reading frames in the other sequenced HPV genomes.

Abstract
Early gene E5 of bovine papillomavirus type 1 encodes a 44-amino-acid protein whose expression can transform immortalized mouse cell lines. We have previously reported that a chemically synthesized E5 peptide functions to induce cellular DNA synthesis upon microinjection into growth-arrested mouse cells. We further defined the two E5 domains essential for the full DNA synthesis induction activity by the analysis of E5 deletion and amino acid substitution mutant peptides. The first domain is the C-terminal 13-amino-acid core which is sufficient to activate DNA synthesis at high peptide concentration and contains two essential, highly conserved cysteine residues. The second domain is the 7-amino-acid hydrophobic sequence contiguous to the core domain which is sufficient to confer a 1,000-fold higher molar specific activity to the E5 peptide. A random hydrophobic sequence, but not charged amino acids, fulfills the function of the second domain.

Abstract
The 44-amino-acid E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is the shortest known protein with transforming activity. To identify the specific amino acids required for in vitro focus formation in mouse C127 cells, we used oligonucleotide-directed saturation mutagenesis to construct an extensive collection of mutants with missense mutations in the E5 gene. Characterization of mutants with amino acid substitutions in the hydrophobic middle third of the E5 protein indicated that efficient transformation requires a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids but not a specific amino acid sequence in this portion of the protein. Many amino acids in the carboxyl-terminal third of the protein can also undergo substitution without impairment of focus-forming activity, but the amino acids at seven positions, including two cysteine residues that mediate dimer formation, appear essential for efficient transforming activity. These essential amino acids are the most well conserved among related fibropapillomaviruses. The small size of the E5 protein, its lack of similarity to other transforming proteins, and its ability to tolerate many amino acid substitutions implies that it transforms cells via a novel mechanism.

Abstract
Bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) is capable of replicating as a stable, high-copy-number plasmid in transformed rodent cells. The BPV-1 E1 open reading frame (ORF) encodes multiple functions involved in viral DNA replication. Mutations which disrupt the translational integrity of the E1 ORF disable the viral genome from replicating as a stable plasmid and result in the integration of the viral genome into the host chromosome generally at a low copy number. Despite the low copy number of the integrated genomes, BPV-1 E1 mutants transform rodent cells to anchorage independence very efficiently, at levels equal to or greater than that of wild-type (wt) BPV-1. Studies were performed to provide insight into why these low-copy-number, replication-defective mutants are capable of expressing an equal or greater transformation potential than wt BPV-1. Analysis of viral RNA revealed higher rates of transcription per viral genome in cells harboring E1 mutated BPV-1 DNA than in cells containing wt BPV-1 DNA. Furthermore, the levels of viral RNA mapping the P89 promoter were found to be 15- to 35-fold higher in cells transformed by E1 mutated DNAs compared with wt BPV-1 transformants. This promoter controls expression of the BPV-1 E6 transforming gene and is regulated by the viral E2 gene products. The studies presented in this report determined that the E1 mutants were perturbed in their E2 transcriptional regulation, suggesting a possible explanation for the observed P89 induction. Mutations throughout the E1 ORF, in either of the two regions previously identified as encoding distinct replication functions, were altered in viral transcription.

The 44-amino-acid E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is the shortest known protein with transforming activity.

Abstract
We analyzed the long control regions (LCRs) of seven human papillomavirus type 6b (HPV-6b) clones, which contained prototype HPV-6b sequences recloned into various plasmid vectors and propagated in different strains of Escherichia coli. Southern blot analysis and DNA sequencing demonstrated three different sequences, each distinct from the published prototype HPV-6b sequence. Two of the plasmids contained insertions of 24 and 94 base pairs (bp) and a 1-bp deletion. Four plasmids contained insertions of 24 and 58 bp and a deletion of 49 bp. One plasmid contained a single insertion of 77 bp. The 94-, and 58-bp insertions occurred at the same site and had 100% positional identity across their shared lengths. All changes were located in the purine-thymidine-rich region of the LCR (nucleotides 7292 to 7400). Two additional LCR sequences were detected by restriction analysis of two other HPV-6b clones. We conclude that the purine-thymidine-rich region of the LCR is a hot spot for recombination in E. coli and that the alterations are the result of recA-independent events. These results emphasize the need to rigorously prove that a cloned isolate is an authentic copy of the genomic DNA present in the original lesion. In addition, the data indicate that the HPV-6b LCR sequences employed in different laboratories may be different, even if their parental DNAs were identical. Finally, we discuss the need for caution in assigning biological significance to alterations in this region, in view of the limited data available on the true identity of the HPV-6b LCR.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) 8 induces flat macular skin lesions with a high risk of malignant conversion. A 600-bp fragment from the center of the major structural protein gene L1 was cloned into pEX2 to produce a beta-galactosidase-L1 fusion protein. The expressed part of L1 is masked in intact virions and not detected by sera of infected patients. Immunization of guinea pigs with purified fusion protein raised high-titer antisera, which reacted with capsid proteins of HPV8 and closely related viruses in Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence tests. Structural proteins of HPV1, 2, and 3 were not detected, indicating specificity for the subgroup of ev-specific HPVs. The sera present themselves as convenient diagnostic reagents for the demonstration of infections with potentially oncogenic HPVs using routine immunofluorescence procedures.

Abstract
Integrated human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) sequences were cloned from a cervical carcinoma and analyzed by restriction mapping and nucleotide sequencing. The viral integration sites were mapped within the E1 and E2 open reading frames (ORFs). The E4 and E5 ORFs were entirely deleted. An internal deletion of 376 base pairs (bp) was found disrupting the L1 and L2 ORFs. Sequencing analysis showed that an AGATGT/ACATCT inverted repeat marked the deletion junction with two flanking direct repeats 14 and 8 bp in length. A 1,330-bp sequence duplication containing the long control region (LCR) and the E6 and E7 ORFs was also found. The duplication junction was formed by two 24-bp direct repeats with 79% (19 of 24) homology located within the LCR and the E2 ORF of the prototype viral genome, respectively. This observation leads us to propose that the initial viral integration involved an HPV16 dimer in which the direct repeats in tandem units recombined, resulting in reiteration of only a portion of the original duplication. A guanosine insertion between nucleotides 1137 and 1138 created a continuous E1 ORF which was previously shown to be disrupted. Results from this study indicate that sequence reiteration and internal deletion in the integrated, and possibly in the episomal, HPV16 genome are influenced by specific nucleotide sequences in the viral genome. Moreover, reiteration of the LCR/E6/E7 sequences further supports the hypothesis that the E6/E7 ORFs may code for oncogenic proteins and that regulatory signals in the LCR may play a role in cellular transformation.

Abstract
Regions containing similar elements of primary and predicted secondary structure were identified in simian virus 40 large T, adenovirus E1A, c-myc and v-myc proteins by a computer program with a set of highly specific, complex pattern descriptors. In all cases these regions were localized in domains of the respective proteins known to be required for transforming activity. We suggest that these apparently structurally similar regions may mediate a common biological function.

Abstract
The genome of the European elk papillomavirus (EEPV) was found to be 8,095 base pairs (bp) long and its genetic organization was similar to that of other papillomaviruses. Ten open reading frames (ORFs), designated E1-E7 and L1-L3, were identified in the genome, all located on one strand. The presence of the L3 ORF is rare among the papillomaviruses and to date has only been identified in the genomes of EEPV, the deer papillomavirus (DPV) and the Cottontail papillomavirus (CRPV). The ORF is well conserved between DPV and EEPV with regard to both length and sequence. Potential promoter regions were identified at the 5'-end of the E6 ORF, at the 3'-end of the E1 ORF and downstream of the L1 ORF. Furthermore, two potential polyadenylation signals were found, one located in the long control region (LCR), downstream of the L1 ORF, and another preceding the L2 ORF. The EEVP genome is closely related to the genome of the DPV, the most highly conserved regions being ORFs E1 (70%), E5 (69%), and L1 (74%).

Abstract
A papillomavirus was isolated from the epithelial layer of a cutaneous fibropapilloma on a Swedish reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Reindeer papillomavirus (RPV) is morphologically indistinguishable from other papillomaviruses, but the restriction enzyme cleavage pattern of its genome is different. No sequence homology was detected between RPV DNA and the DNAs of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) and avian papillomavirus when hybridization was performed under stringent conditions. However, the RPV genome hybridized to the genome of the European elk papillomavirus and the deer papillomavirus under stringent conditions. A physical map of the RPV genome was constructed, and selected regions of the genome, covering the open translational reading frame (ORF) E5 and part of the E1 and L1 ORFs, were studied by nucleotide sequence analysis. The results made it possible to align the RPV genome with the genome of BPV-1. The E5 ORF of RPV has the potential to encode a 44-amino-acid, exceptionally hydrophobic polypeptide which is very similar to the E5 polypeptides of BPV-1 and deer and European elk papillomaviruses. RPV is oncogenic for hamsters and transforms C127 mouse cells in vitro. Several virus-specific mRNAs were detected in RPV-transformed C127 cells.

Abstract
Microinjection of recombinant plasmids containing bovine papillomavirus type 1 DNA into the nuclei of mouse C127 cells results in the stimulation of cellular DNA synthesis. Mutations in the viral E2 gene have no apparent effect on this activity even though the same mutations prevent efficient C127 cell focus formation and inhibit transactivation by this gene.

Abstract
The human papilloma virus (HPV) associated with a genital wart (condyloma acuminatum) was determined to be type 11. The majority of the viral DNA molecules were monomeric circles present in the cells at high copy number, as demonstrated by one- and two-dimensional agarose gell electrophoretic separation followed by Southern blot analysis. A cDNA library in phage lambda gt11 was constructed from poly(A)-selected mRNA recovered from the tissue. Recombinant clones corresponding to the most abundant 1.2-kb viral mRNA species detected by Northern blot hybridization and by electron microscopic analysis of R loops were isolated and their nucleotide sequence was determined. Comparison to the prototype HPV-11 DNA sequence revealed that this message consisted of two exons. The promotor-proximal exon spanned nucleotides 716 through 847 and the distal exon included nucleotides 3325 through 4390 or 4392. The mRNAs were alternatively polyadenylated after either of these latter two sites, in both cases following a G and preceding a U residue. Fourteen or sixteen bases upstream from the poly(A) was the hexanucleotide AGUAAA, which apparently serves as the signal for cleavage and polyadenylation of the nascent message. The splice donor and acceptor sites conformed to the usual /GU. . .AG/pattern. The exons joined open reading frame (ORF) E1, which contributed the initiation codon and four additional triplets, to ORF E4, which specified 85 amino acids to encode a protein of 10,022 Da. The cDNA also contained the ORFs E5a and E5b toward the 3' end. The complete sequence of the cDNA revealed three single-base changes from the prototype HPV-11, two resulting in altered amino acids in E4. Neither affects the coding potential of the overlapping E2 ORF. The function of the E1--E4 protein is unknown.

Abstract
Multiple spliced transcripts of human papillomavirus type 1 were detected by electron microscopic analysis of R-loops formed with total RNA extracted from plantar warts and with poly(A)+ RNA isolated from cultured keratinocytes infected with human papillomavirus type 1. The 5' ends of the RNAs were mapped to sites in the E7 open reading frame (ORF), just upstream of the E6 ORF and in the upstream regulatory region. Species with 5' ends in E7 accounted for over 95% of all transcripts seen. Two polyadenylation sites were used, one at the end of the early (E) region of the viral DNA, the other at the end of the late (L) region. The most abundant species had a short 5' exon of approximately 100 nucleotides spanning the junction of the E7 and E1 ORFs spliced to a 3' exon of 800 nucleotides in the region with overlapping E2 and E4 ORFs; it was polyadenylated at the end of the E region. This species probably encodes the abundant E4 protein found in plantar warts (F. Breitburd, O. Croissant, and G. Orth, Cancer Cells, vol. 5, in press; J. Doorbar, D. Campbell, R. J. A. Grand, and P. H. Gallimore, EMBO J. 5:355-362, 1986). Other transcripts had exons spanning the E6-E7 ORFs, the E4-E5-L2-L1 ORFs, or the L1 ORF. The infrequent L1 transcript, probably the mRNA coding for the major capsid protein, had the same 5' exon in E7 as the abundant mRNA spliced from E1 and E4 ORFs, suggesting genetic regulation via the choice of the alternative polyadenylation sites or mRNA processing.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 5 is associated with benign and malignant lesions of the disease epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV). Because of the strong correlation between the presence of HPV-5 and malignant progression in these patients, we have elucidated the nucleotide sequence of the HPV-5 genome. The size of the HPV-5 genome is 7746 nucleotides and its organization is similar to that of other papillomaviruses. The HPV-5 genome exhibits extensive sequence homology with another EV-associated papillomavirus, HPV-8, although HPV-5 appears to contain at least one additional open reading frame.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of human papillomavirus type 18, associated with cervical cancer, has been established. A detailed comparative analysis was undertaken leading to the identification of a number of features specific for genital papillomaviruses and the construction of a phylogenetic tree. Genital papillomaviruses differ from other human and animal papillomaviruses as they possess a longer E1 open reading frame (ORF) and have a characteristic control region. Phylogenetically, HPV 18 is located between the benign genital viruses, HPV 6 and HPV 11, and the malignant isolates, HPV 16 and HPV 33, and may represent an evolutionary intermediate among oncogenic papillomaviruses. Viral gene products known to be involved in cellular transformation are those of ORFs E5, E6 and E7. Significant sequence variation was found between the E6 to E7 regions of different integrated forms of HPV 18. On re-examination of the E6 primary structures we noticed that the gene has evolved by successive duplications of a unit encoding 33 amino acids, which include a Cys-X-X-Cys motif. Furthermore, the E7 gene product has apparently evolved in the same manner and is related to E6. Both gene products bear a striking resemblance to the transcriptional factor IIIA of Xenopus laevis, the prototype of a new class of nucleic acid binding proteins.
