E6 and E7 are produced from two mRNAs that are generated in a mutually exclusive manner by alternative splicing. While E6 protein is made from the unspliced mRNA, E7 is made from the spliced version of the same pre-mRNA. Since sufficient quantities of both E6 and E7 are required for malignant transformation, this intricate arrangement of gene expression renders E6 and E7 expression vulnerable to external interference. Since antiviral drugs to HPV16 are not available, a detailed knowledge of the regulation of HPV16 E6 and E7 mRNA splicing may uncover novel targets for therapy.Many viruses use specific viral proteins to bind calcium ions (Ca2+) for stability or to modify host cell pathways; however, to date, no Ca2+ binding protein has been reported in bluetongue virus (BTV), the causative agent of bluetongue disease in livestock. Here, using a comprehensive bioinformatics screening, we identified a putative EF-hand-like Ca2+ binding motif in the carboxyl terminal region of BTV nonstructural phosphoprotein 2 (NS2). Subsequently, using a recombinant NS2, we demonstrated that NS2 binds Ca2+ efficiently and that Ca2+ binding was perturbed when the Asp and Glu residues in the motif were substituted by alanine. Using circular dichroism analysis, we found that Ca2+ binding by NS2 triggered a helix-to-coil secondary structure transition. Further, cryo-electron microscopy in the presence of Ca2+ revealed that NS2 forms helical oligomers which, when aligned with the N-terminal domain crystal structure, suggest an N-terminal domain that wraps around the C-terminal domain in the oligomer. Fur, we discovered a characteristic calcium-binding EF-hand-like motif in NS2 and found that the calcium binding preferentially affects phosphorylation level of the NS2 and has a role in regulating VIB assembly.Claudins (CLDN) are a family of proteins
