Results HPV58 genome could replicate extrachromosomally in yeast with transcription of its early and late genes. However with mutation of the viral E2 gene HPV58 genome lost its mitotic stability and the transcription levels of E6 and E7 genes were upregulated. Conclusions E2 protein could participate in viral genome maintenance replication and transcription regulation. This yeast model could be used for the study of certain aspects of HPV life cycle. Background Human papillomaviruses are small circular DNA viruses that infect epithelial cells and normally replicate as nuclear plasmids. The life cycle of papillomavirus is tightly linked to epithelial differentiation 1 . Among the high-risk HPV types associated with cervical cancer human papillomavirus type 58 HPV58 plays a more prominent role in Asian countries. HPV58 has been found in of cervical cancer patients in China 2 with an unusually high prevalence in cervical cancer patients in specific areas of China in Hong Kong 3 and in Shanghai 4 . Despite the availability for biological study of few cell lines containing the DNA of high-risk HPVs such as 16 18 and 31 no cell lines or animal models containing HPV58 have been established. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of budding yeast. The cellular mechanism required for DNA replication in S. cerevisiae is similar to that in human cells 5 . Studies have shown yeast to be a versatile organism for the
