Podophyllotoxin (PT), a strong cytotoxic agent from berberidaceae, has been known to inhibit tubulin polymerization. Although PT has been used for developing anticancer drugs as one of seed compounds, clinical treatment by itself has been unsuccessful because of the side effects, except one example in the treatments of warts. In this study, we screened peptides binding to PT with T7 phage display clonings in order to obtain more information about molecular mechanism of the action. A selected phage clone has a specific amino acid sequence to be SVPSRRRPDGRTHRSSRG. A homology search by protein database BLAST showed that this sequence had a similarity to a hinge domain (HD) of E2 protein in human papillomavirus (HPV) type 1a which is known to cause plantar warts. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis showed that PT bound to a recombinant HPV 1a E2 protein giving a K(D)=24.1microM which has compared with those of other domains of E2 protein. Also we demonstrated whether PT inhibited HD interaction or not. E7 protein of HPV has been known to be an oncoprotein and was reported to interact with HD of E2 protein. We demonstrated that an E2/E7 interaction was inhibited by the addition of PT in this report. And we showed the bindings of PT to other types of HPV. Our results suggest that PT is potential as a tool for clarifying the molecular mechanism of HPV.
