The COPII Transport Complex Participates in HPV16 Infection

Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 is transported in a retrograde fashion from the cell surface to the Golgi apparatus. Prior to mitosis, the virus loses association with the Golgi and, following nuclear envelope breakdown, is found associated with the condensed mitotic chromatin. The intervening steps h...

description Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 is transported in a retrograde fashion from the cell surface to the Golgi apparatus. Prior to mitosis, the virus loses association with the Golgi and, following nuclear envelope breakdown, is found associated with the condensed mitotic chromatin. The intervening steps have not been well defined. It was previously demonstrated that the virus is transported to the mitotic chromosomes in vesicles. Here, we describe the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the post-Golgi trafficking and the importance of the ER-generated coat protein complex II (COPII) anterograde trafficking pathway in HPV infection. HPV pseudovirus (PsV) colocalized with COPII components and silencing of this pathway inhibited HPV infection. Additionally, the inner COPII coat protein, Sec24b, could be biochemically isolated in association with HPV capsid proteins. This study provides insight into the mechanism of post-Golgi HPV trafficking.
