项目摘要

The productive phase of the HPV life cycle is restricted to the uppermost layer of the epithelium, in cells that have normally exited the cell cycle. The E7 protein alters cell cycle regulation to push differentiating cells back into the cell cycle, allowing for productive replication and virion production. Cell cycle deregulation by E7 leads to genomic instability that is a driving force in cancer development. Our long-term goal is to understand mechanisms that regulate productive viral replication, which is important to understanding how HPV causes cancer. HPV genomes are histone-associated, though the impact of histone post-translational modifications on the viral life cycle is unclear. This proposal focuses on understanding how HPV utilizes the SETD2 methyltransferase to facilitate viral replication. SETD2 adds the trimethyl mark to histone H3 on lysine 36 (H3K36me3) during transcription elongation and regulates multiple cellular processes through the recruitment of numerous effector proteins to H3K36me3. We will identify the mechanisms by which SETD2 activity contributes to viral replication and determine how E7 increases the stability of SETD2. We hypothesize that HPV epigenetically regulates the viral life cycle through SETD2-mediated H3K36me3 on viral, as well as cellular chromatin. Specific Aims to test this are: (1) To determine the mechanism by which SETD2 facilitates viral replication by examining whether SETD2 knockdown affects transcription, RNA processing and DNA repair on viral genomes, as well as by identifying H3K36me3 readers bound to HPV DNA. (2) To determine the mechanism by which E7 increases the protein stability of SETD2 by examining known modulators of SETD2 stability, as well as by identifying SETD2 interacting partners though a non-biased approach using a BirA- tagged SETD2 coupled with mass spectrometry. Since SETD2 is essential to the maintenance of genomic stability, it is important to understand how HPV utilizes this epigenetic modifier to facilitate viral replication. Understanding how SETD2 activity promotes the viral life cycle will provide insight into mechanisms of viral persistence, as well as genomic instability. These studies may also identify therapeutic targets for the treatment of HPV-associated diseases.

HPV生命周期的生产阶段仅限于通常退出细胞周期的细胞中上皮的最上层。 E7蛋白会改变细胞周期调节，以将分化的细胞重新恢复到细胞周期，从而使生产性复制和病毒体产生。细胞周期对E7的管制导致基因组不稳定性，这是癌症发展的驱动力。我们的长期目标是了解调节生产性病毒复制的机制，这对于了解HPV如何引起癌症很重要。 HPV基因组是与组蛋白相关的，尽管组蛋白翻译后修饰对病毒生命周期的影响尚不清楚。该建议着重于理解HPV如何利用SETD2甲基转移酶来促进病毒复制。 SETD2在转录伸长过程中将三甲基标记添加到赖氨酸36（H3K36ME3）上的组蛋白H3中，并通过募集许多效应蛋白向H3K36Me3来调节多个细胞过程。我们将确定setD2活性导致病毒复制的机制，并确定E7如何提高setD2的稳定性。我们假设HPV通过setD2介导的H3K36me3在病毒和细胞染色质上通过SETD2介导的H3K36me3来表观遗传调节病毒生命周期。测试目的的具体目的是：（1）确定SETD2通过检查setD2敲低是否影响病毒基因组上的转录，RNA处理和DNA修复以及通过识别H3K36ME3读取器绑定到HPV DNA的机制来促进病毒复制的机制。（2）通过检查SETD2稳定性的已知调节剂，以及通过使用BIRA标记的SETD2的非偏差方法来确定setD2稳定性的已知调节剂，并通过检查SETD2稳定性的已知调节剂来确定E7提高setD2的蛋白质稳定性的机制。由于SETD2对于维持基因组稳定性至关重要，因此重要的是要了解HPV如何利用这种表观遗传修饰符来促进病毒复制。了解SETD2活性如何促进病毒生命周期将提供对病毒持久性机制以及基因组不稳定性的洞察力。这些研究还可以确定治疗与HPV相关疾病的治疗靶标。
