The human papillomavirus (HPV) E1 and E2 proteins bind cooperatively to the viral origin of replication (ori ), forming an E1-E2-ori complex that is essential for initiation of DNA replication. All other replication proteins, including DNA polymerase α-primase (polα-primase), are derived from the host cell. We have carried out a detailed analysis of the interactions of HPV type 16 (HPV-16) E1 with E2,ori , and the four polα-primase subunits. Deletion analysis showed that a C-terminal region of E1 (amino acids [aa] 432 to 583 or 617) is required for E2 binding. HPV-16 E1 was unable to bind theori in the absence of E2, but the same C-terminal domain of E1 was sufficient to tether E1 to theori via E2. Of the polα-primase subunits, only p68 bound E1, and binding was competitive with E2. The E1 region required (aa 397 to 583) was the same as that required for E2 binding but additionally contained 34 N-terminal residues. In confirmation of these differences, we found that a monoclonal antibody, mapping adjacent to the N-terminal junction of the p68-binding region, blocked E1-p68 but not E1-E2 binding. Sequence alignments and secondary-structure prediction for HPV-16 E1 and other superfamily 3 (SF3) viral helicases closely parallel the mapping data in suggesting that aa 439 to 623 constitute a discrete helicase domain. Assuming a common nucleoside triphosphate-binding fold, we have generated a structural model of this domain based on the X-ray structures of the hepatitis C virus andBacillus stearothermophilus (SF2) helicases. The modelling closely matches the deletion analysis in suggesting that this region of E1 is indeed a structural domain, and our results suggest that it is multifunctional and critical to several stages of HPV DNA replication.
