Papillomaviridae is a family of small non-enveloped icosahedral viruses with double-
stranded circular DNA. More than 200 different human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been …

Animal and human papillomaviruses (HPVs) replicate persistently in specific types of
stratified epithelia of their host. After the initial infection, the viral genome replicates at low …

Gene copy number variation is a predominant mechanism used by organisms to respond to
selective pressures from the environment. This often results in unbalanced structural …

DDX11/ChlR1 (Chl1 in yeast) is a DNA helicase involved in sister chromatid cohesion and
in DNA repair pathways. The protein belongs to the family of the iron–sulphur cluster …

Persistent viral infections require a host cell reservoir that maintains functional copies of the
viral genome. To this end, several DNA viruses maintain their genomes as …

The life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) comprises three distinct phases of DNA
replication: initial amplification, maintenance of the genome copy number at a constant level …

DDX11/ChlR1 is a super-family two iron–sulfur cluster containing DNA helicase with roles in
DNA replication and sister chromatid cohesion establishment, and general chromosome …

The human tumor viruses that replicate as plasmids (we use the term plasmid to avoid any
confusion in the term episome, which was coined to mean DNA elements that occur both …

The papillomavirus (PV) E2 protein coordinates viral transcription and genome replication.
Following a strategy to identify amino acids in E2 that are posttranslationally modified, we …

The viral genome of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the causative agent of
cervical cancer, is stably maintained as extrachromosomal episomes that establish …
