Abstract Persistent infections of the uterine cervix with 'high-risk' human papillomavirus (HPV) are now recognized as necessary for the development of cervical cancer. Among them, HPV types 16 and 18 exhibit numerous variants associated with different risks for cervical cancer development. In this study, the questions of whether different HPV type 18 variants exhibit changes in early gene transcription and the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences were investigated. It was shown that, indeed, type 18 variants exhibited singular differences in E6 transcripts in vivo. Higher levels of the E6*I transcript were detected regularly in clones harbouring the African variant, as opposed to low levels of this transcript detected in clones containing the reference clone (Asian-Amerindian), where significantly higher levels of full-length E6 transcript were usually observed. As a direct consequence, higher levels of p53 protein were found in the presence of African E6, as opposed to the low levels of p53 observed with the Asian-Amerindian E6. These variations in consequence affected the levels of cellular proteins regulated by p53, such as Bax. Similar changes in the relative levels of E6 transcripts were observed when tumours containing type 18 E6 variants were analysed. The different ability of cells containing variant E6 genes to form tumours in nude mice was suggested by the fact that tumour volumes were considerably higher when cells expressed the Asian-Amerindian E6. Mutagenesis analysis of the reference clone showed that a C491A change reverts the phenotype. These results suggest that different splicing patterns of E6 within HPV type 18 variants may possibly have biological implications in viral tumorigenesis.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
