Productive replication of human papillomaviruses (HPV) only takes place in differentiating keratinocytes. The HPV16 E8^E2 protein acts as a repressor of viral gene expression and genome replication and HPV16 E8^E2 knock-out (E8-) genomes display enhanced viral late protein expression in differentiated cells. Global transcriptome analysis of differentiated HPV16 wild-type and E8-cell lines revealed a small number of differentially expressed genes which are not related to cell cycle, DNA metabolism or keratinocyte differentiation. The analysis of selected genes suggested that deregulation requires cell differentiation and positively correlated with the expression of viral late, not early transcripts. Consistent with this, the additional knock-out of the viral E4 and E5 genes, which are known to enhance productive replication, attenuated the deregulation of these host cell genes. In summary, these data reveal that productive HPV16 replication modulates host cell transcription.

Even though replication and transcription of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) has been intensively studied, little is known about immediate-early events of the viral life cycle due to the lack of an efficient infection model allowing genetic dissection of viral factors. We employed the recently developed infection model (Bienkowska-Haba M, Luszczek W, Myers JE, Keiffer TR, et al. 2018.

The current model of human papillomavirus (HPV) replication is comprised of three modes of replication. Following infectious delivery, the viral genome is amplified during the establishment phase to reach up to some hundred copies per cell. The HPV genome copy number remains constant during the maintenance stage.

The life cycle of human papillomavirus (HPV) depends on keratinocyte differentiation as the virus modulates and takes advantage of cellular pathways to replicate its genome and assemble viral particles in differentiated cells. Viral genomes are amplified in nuclear replication foci in differentiated keratinocytes, and DNA repair factors from the DNA damage response signaling pathway are recruited to replicate viral DNA. The HPV genome is associated with cellular histones at all stages of the infectious cycle, and here, we show that the histone variant macroH2A1 is bound to the HPV genome and enriched in viral replication foci in differentiated cells.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) E1 and E2 proteins activate genome replication. E2 also modulates viral gene expression and is involved in the segregation of viral genomes. In addition to full length E2, almost all PV share the ability to encode an E8^E2 protein, that is a fusion of E8 with the C-terminal half of E2 which mediates specific DNA-binding and dimerization.
