Abstract
The helper-dependent human parvovirus adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) inhibits both the oncogenic transforming abilities and the DNA replication of its helper viruses, adenovirus (Ad), and herpes simplex virus (HSV). As AAV-2 also inhibits the transforming ability of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV), AAV-2 was assayed for its ability to inhibit BPV plasmid DNA replication. Here we find that the AAV-2 Rep78 gene is able to trans-inhibit BPV plasmid DNA replication and that the AAV-2 terminal repeats (TR) are also cis-required for the full inhibitory effect of AAV-2. When both the AAV-2 Rep78 open reading frame and TRs are present the inhibition of BPV plasmid DNA replication is very strong.Entities:
