Sequencing data on the long control region of human papillomavirus type 16.

A one base change (adenine at position 7861) in the long control region (LCR) of the prototype sequence of human papillomavirus type 16 was reported. With this correction, a new E2-binding site was revealed, 111 bp and 143 bp upstream from the TATA box and P97, respectively, and 105 bp downstream of the keratinocyte-dependent enhancer. An A to C mutation at position 41 was found in a patient with invasive carcinoma. This mutation falls within an E2-binding site.
