Sequence variants and functional analysis of human papillomavirus type 16 E5 gene in clinical specimens

Abstract: Previously, we found that the E5 protein can be expressed in HPV-16 infected precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. In this study, we investigated the presence of sequence variants of E5 in HPV-16 infected tissues. Toward this end, we amplified the E5 gene by polymerase chain reaction from 29 HPV-16 infected tissues including eight normal tissues, seven high grade neoplastic tissues (high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and 14 cervical cancer tissues. Sequence analysis demonstrated that there … Show more

“…E5 variations have been considered unrelated to malignant transformation. The mutational hotspots of A3979C, A4041G and A4076T in E5 were identified in our samples and have also been reported in Taiwan, Singapore, Brazil, Tanzania, Germany, and the USA [22,23,24]. The novel variants we found in L2 only caused synonymous amino acid changes.…”

“…This event could confer a selective growth advantage on such variants since it has been suggested that codon usage may be important in the regulation of early HPV expression. However, similar in vitro transforming activities for HPV-16 E5 variant proteins were also described (54).…”
