“…BPV E5 is not present in the nucleus (Burkhardt et al, 1989;Pennie et al, 1993;Zago et al, 2004) and its effect on transcription is therefore not direct. Rather, BPV E5 interferes with several signal transduction pathways (DiMaio and Mattoon, 2001;O'Brien et al, 2001;Zago et al, 2004;Grindlay et al, 2005), and it is therefore likely that inhibition of the BoLa promoter/enhancer is achieved by interference with one or more of these pathways. We have already shown that BPV-4 E5 affects the expression of cyclin A by acting indirectly on the transcriptional promoter of the cyclin A gene (O'Brien et al, 1999;Grindlay et al, 2005) and BPV-4 E5 inhibition of the BoLa promoter/enhancer is another example of E5 interference with transcription regulation.…”
