The human cytomegalovirus major immediate-early enhancer determines the efficiency of immediate-early gene transcription and viral replication in permissive cells at low multiplicity of infection.
To determine the effect of the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) major immediate-early (MIE) enhancer or promoter on the efficiency of viral replication in permissive human cells, we constructed recombinant viruses with their human MIE promoter, enhancer, and promoter plus enhancer replaced with the murine CMV components. After a low multiplicity of infection (MOI) (0.01 PFU/cell), recombinant human ...
متن کاملCellular zinc status regulates cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoter.
Diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (DTPA) inhibits human cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication in vitro, although the mechanism has remained unclear. The present study shows that DTPA inhibits CMV major immediate-early (MIE) promoter activity in a luciferase reporter assay, whereas its enhancer-less promoter was not affected. The inhibitory effect of DTPA on CMV MIE promoter activity was abrogated...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoter activity in transgenic mice.
The expression of genes in transgenic mice is known to be influenced by the site of integration even when they carry their own promoter elements and transcription factor binding sites. The cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, a strong promoter often used for transgene expression in mammalian cells in culture, is known to be silenced by DNA methylation and histone deacetylation but there is no report...
متن کاملReactivation of the previously silenced cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promoter in the mouse liver: involvement of NFkappaB.
The cytomegalovirus (CMV) major immediate-early promoter/enhancer is active in many cell culture systems and is considered to be one of the strongest promoters in vitro. However, when this promoter was used in in vivo approaches to gene therapy, it was silenced within a few weeks in several organs including the liver. In this study, we demonstrated transcriptional inactivation of the CMV promot...
متن کاملRole of the proximal enhancer of the major immediate-early promoter in human cytomegalovirus replication.
The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer has a distal component (positions -550 to -300) and a proximal component (-300 to -39) relative to the transcription start site (+1) of the major immediate-early (MIE) promoter. Without the distal enhancer, human CMV replicates slower and has a small-plaque phenotype. We determined the sequence requirements of the proximal enhancer by making 5'-end delet...
