Abstract
A cervical carcinoma that contained human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 homologous DNA was analyzed. Each tumor cell genome contained a single, incomplete copy of HPV-16 DNA. The E6 and E7 open reading frames (ORFs) were completely conserved relative to other published HPV-16 sequences. Much of the non-coding region (NCR) was free of base changes, including complete conservation of several regulatory elements. Multiple mutations were identified in the remaining integrated HPV-16 DNA, which was composed of parts of the L1 and E1 ORFs. The extraordinary conservation of the E6/E7 DNA sequence, as compared with other regions of the integrated HPV-16 DNA, supports the role of E6/E7 in tumorigenesis.Entities:
