Redox changes are one of the factors that influence cell-cycle progression, and that control the processes of cellular proliferation, differentiation, senescence and apoptosis. Proteins regulated through redox-sensitive, cysteines have been characterized but specific 'sulphydryl switches' in, replication proteins remain to be identified. In bovine papillomavirus, type-1, DNA replication begins when the viral transcription factor E2, recruits the viral initiator protein E1 to the origin of DNA replication, (ori). Here we show that a novel dimerization interface in the E2, transcription activation domain is stabilized by a disulphide bond., Oxidative cross-linking via Cys57 sequesters the interaction surface, between E1 and E2, preventing pre-initiation and replication initiation, complex formation. Our data demonstrate that as well as a mechanism for, regulating DNA binding, redox reactions can control replication by, modulating the tertiary structure of critical protein factors using a, specific redox sensor.
