We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to screen a cDNA library
prepared from normal human epidermal keratinocytes and identified protein partners for human papilloma virus (HPV) E6 proteins. A clone
that encoded Gps2 interacted with E6 proteins from HPVs of high and low
oncogenic risk. The specificity of these reactions was verified and the
regions of E6 that were required for interaction were mapped.
Steady-state and pulse-chase analyses of cells cotransfected with DNAs
expressing E6 from either HPV6 or HPV18 and Gps2 demonstrated that the
E6 proteins induced the degradation of Gps2 in vivo but not in vitro.
Gps2 exhibited transcriptional activation activity, and high-risk E6
suppressed this activity.
