Bovine papillomavirus type 1 replication was previously shown to require
both the E1 initiator protein and the E2 transactivator protein. We show
here that E1, in the absence of E2, is sufficient for low-level bovine
papillomavirus type 1 DNA replication in C-33A cells. In addition, studies
of genetically isolated E2 point mutants demonstrate that enhancement of
replication by E2 does not require its transcriptional activation function.
The uncoupling of the E2 functions suggests that stimulation of
transcription and replication by enhancer proteins occurs via divergent
mechanisms.
