چکیده

Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus vIRF is a viral transcription factor that inhibits interferon signaling and transforms NIH 3T3 cells, but does not bind interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) DNA sequences. Here we show that induction of the MYC protooncogene is required for cell transformation by vIRF, and that vIRF increases MYC transcription up to 15-fold through specific promoter interactions at an ISRE sequence called the plasmacytoma repressor factor (PRF) element. These effects are resistant to cycloheximide but are inhibited by a dominant-negative ISRE-binding protein, indicating that vIRF acts together with a cellular cofactor at the PRF element to directly transactivate MYC. The coadaptor CREB-binding protein (CBP) binds vIRF and synergizes transactivation of MYC, but, unexpectedly, closely related histone acetyltransferases p300 and P/CAF potently suppress vIRF transactivation. On the basis of the prediction that other interferon-inhibiting viral transforming proteins behave similarly, we found that Epstein-Barr virus-induced nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) also binds p300/CBP, and that both EBNA2 and adenovirus E1A transactivate MYC through the PRF element. For E1A, P/CAF coactivates MYC, whereas both p300 and CBP suppress E1A transactivation. For EBNA2, both P/CAF and CBP coactivate the MYC promoter, whereas p300 suppresses EBNA2 transactivation. These findings demonstrate that viral transforming proteins can activate as well as inhibit transcription through coadaptor interactions. At some promoters CBP and p300 have previously unrecognized, competitive antagonism to each other. While all three viral proteins target the same promoter element, each has a different coadaptor use profile. These findings are consistent with cellular MYC repression playing a role in innate immunity as well as in control of cell proliferation.

Promoter trans-activation of protooncogenes c-fos and c-myc, but not c-Ha-ras, by products of adenovirus early region 1A.

The E1A (early region 1A) oncogene products of adenovirus type 2 trans-activate the other early viral transcription units, as well as some cellular promoters. Using a short-term cotransfection assay in murine NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, we show that c-fos and c-myc promoter activities are stimulated by the E1A proteins, whereas c-Ha-ras transcription is not affected. The product of E1A 13S mRNA is res...

Lysine residues of interferon regulatory factor 7 affect the replication and transcription activator-mediated lytic replication of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus-8-encoded viral interferon regulatory factor (vIRF) transforms NIH3T3 cells, represses interferon signal transduction and regulates the expression of other KSHV genes. Here, we have shown that vIRF is a transcriptional activator and auto-activates its own expression. Ectopic expression of vIRF activated the vIRF promoter in KSHV-n...

Adenovirus E1A targets p400 to induce the cellular oncoprotein Myc.

Adenovirus E1A drives oncogenesis by targeting key regulatory pathways that are critical for cellular growth control. The interaction of E1A with p400 is essential for many E1A activities, but the downstream target of this interaction is unknown. Here, we present evidence that the oncoprotein transcription factor Myc is the target of this interaction. We show that E1A stabilizes Myc protein via...

TATA-binding protein and the retinoblastoma gene product bind to overlapping epitopes on c-Myc and adenovirus E1A protein.

Using a protein binding assay, we show that the amino-terminal 204 amino acids of the c-Myc protein interact directly with a key component of the basal transcription factor TFIID, the TATA box-binding protein (TBP). Essentially the same region of the c-Myc protein also binds the product of the retinoblastoma gene, the RB protein. c-Myc protein coimmunoprecipitates with TBP in lysates of mammali...

Identification of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) target proteins by proteome analysis: activation of EBNA2 in conditionally immortalized B cells reflects early events after infection of primary B cells by EBV.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous B-lymphotropic herpesvirus associated with several malignant tumors, e.g., Burkitt's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, and is able to efficiently immortalize primary B lymphocytes in vitro. The growth program of infected B cells is initiated and maintained by the viral transcription factor EBV nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2), which regulates viral and cellul...
