The major and minor capsid proteins of polyomavirus are preassembled in the cytoplasm and translocated to the nucleus only as a VP1-VP2/VP3 complex. In this study, we describe independent nuclear translocation of the L1 major protein and the L2 minor capsid protein of human papillomavirus type 33 by several approaches. First, we observed that expression and nuclear translocation of L2 in natural lesions precede expression of L1. Second, using a cell culture system for coexpression, we found that accumulation of L2 in nuclear domain 10 (ND10) subnuclear structures precedes L1 by several hours. In contrast, complexes of L2 and mutants of L1 forced to assemble in the cytoplasm are translocated directly to ND10, like L2 expressed alone. Interestingly, accumulation of wild-type L1 is observed only after L2-induced release of the ND10-associated protein Sp100. Third, nuclear translocation of L2 but not of L1 was blocked by the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Our data suggest that L1 and L2 interaction occurs after L2-induced reorganization of ND10 subnuclear domains.
