The mechanism through which cutaneous papillomaviruses induce lesions is largely unknown. Ectopic expression of the Delta Np63 alpha isoform highly increased the viral promoter activity. The co-expression of c-Jun mediated and increased the Delta Np63 alpha activity by binding to the AP-1 site in an enhancer region of the HPV 20 URR. This strong activation by Delta Np63 alpha is diminished in the presence of wtp53 and abolished by the simultaneous expression of "hot-spot" mutant p53 R248W. We demonstrate that c-Jun is responsible for the viral promoter activation through its direct interaction with both Delta Np63 alpha and wtp53. The downregulation by p53 mutant R248W is accompanied by reduced protein levels of Delta Np63 alpha and phosphorylated c-Jun. The data presented in this study provide insight into a possible mechanism through which these cellular proteins may modulate a cutaneous papillomavirus genome to induce viral replication, latent infection or malignant transformation.
