摘要
Human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 and L2 capsid protein expression is restricted to the granular layer of infected, stratified epithelia and is regulated at least partly at post-transcriptional levels. For HPV16, a 79 nt late regulatory element (LRE) is involved in this control. Using W12 cells as a model for HPV16-infected differentiating cervical epithelial cells we show that HuR, a key cellular protein that controls mRNA stability, binds the LRE most efficiently in nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts of differentiated cells. Further, HuR binds the 3' U-rich portion of the LRE directly in vitro. Overexpression of HuR in undifferentiated W12 cells results in an increase in L1 mRNA and protein levels while siRNA knock-clown of HuR in differentiated W12 cells depletes L1 expression. In differentiated cervical epithelial cells HuR may bind and stabilise L1 mRNAs aiding translation of L1 protein. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
