The upstream regulatory region (URR) of the tumorigenic human papillomaviruses HPV 16 and 18 contains an octamer binding site which is located adjacent to a binding site for the ubiquitous transcription factor NFI. The octamer site binds both the constitutively expressed transcription factor Oct-1 and a novel cervical octamer binding protein. In contrast the URR of the non-tumorigenic viruses HPV6 and HPV11 lacks the octamer binding site although the adjacent NFI site is conserved. Inactivation of the octamer binding site results in a higher level of gene expression in cells which contain only Oct-1 and a lower level in cells containing the cervical octamer binding protein indicating that that whilst Oct-1 binding reduces promoter activity, the cervical protein increases it. In agreement with this, over-expression of Oct-1 reduces the level of gene activity directed by this region of the HPV 16/18 URR and inhibits its activation by NFI whilst having no effect on the corresponding region of the HPV 6/11 URR. The significance of these effects is discussed in terms of the cervical-specific activity of the HPV16/18 URR and its role in HPV-mediated transformation.

The octamer binding site in the HPV16 regulatory region produces opposite effects on gene expression in cervical and non-cervical cells
