Function

VE1_BPV1 ATP-dependent DNA helicase required for initiation of viral DNA replication. It forms a complex with the viral E2 protein. The E1-E2 complex binds to the replication origin which contains binding sites for both proteins.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Initiation of DNA replication of the papillomavirus genome is a multi-step process involving the sequential loading of viral E1 protein subunits onto the origin of replication. Here we have captured structural snapshots of two sequential steps in the assembly process. Initially, an E1 dimer binds to adjacent major grooves on one face of the double helix; a second dimer then binds to another face of the helix. Each E1 monomer has two DNA-binding modules: a DNA-binding loop, which binds to one DNA strand and a DNA-binding helix, which binds to the opposite strand. The nature of DNA binding suggests a mechanism for the transition between double- and single-stranded DNA binding that is implicit in the progression to a functional helicase.
