Direct interaction with the BRD4 carboxyl-terminal motif (CTM) and TopBP1 is required for human papillomavirus 16 E2 association with mitotic chromatin and plasmid segregation function

This study shows that E2 protein interaction with BRD4's CTM and TopBP1 is essential for HPV16's mitotic chromatin association and plasmid segregation, offering therapeutic targets for viral genome targeting.

SAMHD1 regulates human papillomavirus 16 induced cell proliferation and viral replication during differentiation of oral keratinocytes.

This study shows that HPV16 regulates SAMHD1 expression in oral keratinocytes, and SAMHD1 deletion enhances viral replication and cell proliferation in HPV16-infected cells.
