The bovine papillomavirus type 1 E1 protein is important for viral
DNA replication and transcriptional repression. It has been proposed
that the full-length E1 protein consists of a small N-terminal and a
larger C-terminal domain. In this study, it is shown that an E1
polypeptide containing residues 132 to 605 (which represents the
C-terminal domain) is able to support transient viral DNA replication,
although at a level lower than that supported by the wild-type protein.
This domain can also repress E2-mediated transactivation from the P89
promoter as well as the wild-type E1 protein can.
