The human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 protein
regulates viral gene expression and is also required for viral
replication. HPV-transformed cells often contain chromosomally
integrated copies of the HPV genome in which the viral E2 gene is
disrupted. We have shown previously that re-expression of the HPV 16 E2
protein in HPV 16-transformed cells results in cell death via
apoptosis. Here we show that the HPV 16 E2 protein can induce apoptosis
in both HPV-transformed and non-HPV-transformed cell lines. E2-induced apoptosis is abrogated by a trans-dominant negative mutant of p53 or by
overexpression of the HPV 16 E6 protein, but is increased by
overexpression of wild-type p53. We show that mutations that block the
DNA binding activity of E2 do not impair the ability of this protein to
induce apoptosis. In contrast, removal of both N-terminal domains from
the E2 dimer completely blocks E2-induced cell death. Heterodimers
formed between wild-type E2 and N-terminally deleted E2 proteins also
fail to induce cell death. Our data suggest that neither the DNA
binding activity of E2 nor other HPV proteins are required for the
induction of apoptosis by E2 and that E2-induced cell death occurs via
a p53-dependent pathway.
