RESUMO
Human papillomavirus type 6 (HPV-6) DNA was detected in a rapidly growing vulvar verrucous carcinoma and two recurrent tumor samples. The viral DNA (HPV-6vc) was molecularly cloned and found to have a high degree of DNA sequence homology to HPV-6b DNA. Comparison of restriction endonuclease cleavage patterns between HPV-6b and HPV-6vc genomes and DNA sequencing analysis demonstrated an additional 106 bases in the HPV-6vc genome. These additional nucleotides were located in the noncoding region of the viral genome which contains the putative viral DNA replication and early gene transcriptional control elements. Seventy-four of the additional 106 nucleotides were found as one insert in the purine-thymidine-rich region 3' to the end of the L1 open reading frame. This 74-base-pair addition had homology with viral sequences immediately upstream to it and to poly(dG-dT) sequences found in the human genome including the conserved repeated sequences in human DNA (EC1) and in the human cardiac muscle actin gene. Two smaller inserts, 19 and 15 nucleotides, were found upstream from the transcriptional control elements and demonstrate homology with regions of human alpha and gamma interferon genes.
