The papillomavirus E2 proteins regulate the
transcription of all papillomavirus genes and are necessary for viral
DNA replication. Disruption of the E2 gene is commonly associated with
malignancy in cervical carcinoma, indicating that E2 has a role in
regulating tumor progression. Although the E2 proteins from all
characterized papillomaviruses bind specifically to the same 12-base
pair DNA sequence, the cancer-associated human papillomavirus E2
proteins display a unique ability to detect DNA flexibility and
intrinsic curvature. To understand the structural basis for this
phenomenon, we have determined the crystal structures of the human
papillomavirus-18 E2 DNA-binding domain and its complexes with
high and low affinity binding sites. The E2 protein is a dimeric

-barrel and the E2-DNA interaction is accompanied by a large
deformation of the DNA as it conforms to the E2 surface. DNA
conformation and E2-DNA contacts are similar in both high and low
affinity complexes. The differences in affinity correlate with the
flexibility of the DNA sequence. Preferences of E2 proteins from
different papillomavirus strains for flexible or prebent DNA targets
correlate with the distribution of positive charge on their DNA
interaction surfaces, suggesting a role for electrostatic forces in the
recognition of DNA deformability.
