High-risk (HPV16) human papillomavirus E7 oncoprotein is highly stable and extended, with conformational transitions that could explain its multiple cellular binding partners
High-risk papillomaviruses are known to exert their transforming activity mainly through E7, one of their two oncoproteins. Despite its relevance, no structural information has been obtained that could explain the apparent broad binding specificity of E7. Recombinant E7 from HPV-16 purified to near...

High-risk papillomaviruses are known to exert their transforming activity mainly through E7, one of their two oncoproteins. Despite its relevance, no structural information has been obtained that could explain the apparent broad binding specificity of E7. Recombinant E7 from HPV-16 purified to near homogeneity showed two species in gel filtration chromatography, one of these corresponding to a dimer with a molecular weight of 22 kDa, determined by multiangle light scattering. The E7 dimer was isolated for characterization and was shown to undergo a substantial conformational transition when changing from pH 7.0 to 5.0, with an increase in helical structure and increased solvent accessibility to hydrophobic surfaces. The protein was resistant to thermal denaturation even in the presence of SDS, and we show that persistent residual structure in the monomer is responsible for its reported anomalous electrophoretic behavior. The dimer also displays a nonglobular hydrodynamic volume based on gel filtration experiments and becomes more globular in the presence of 0.3 M guanidinium chloride, with hydrophobic surfaces becoming accessible to the solvent, as indicated by the large increase in ANS binding.
