Vector expression of adenovirus type 5 E1a proteins: evidence for E1a autoregulation
D H Smith et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1985 Oct.
Abstract
We transiently expressed adenovirus type C E1a proteins in wild-type or mutant form from plasmid vectors which have different combinations of E1a and simian virus 40 enhancer elements and which contain the DNA replication origin of SV40 and can replicate in COS 7 cells. We measured the levels of E1a mRNA encoded by the vectors and the transition regulation properties of the protein products. Three vectors encoded equivalent levels of E1a mRNA in COS 7 cells: (i) a plasmid encoding the wt 289-amino acid E1a protein (this complemented the E1a deletion mutant dl312 for early region E2a expression under both replicative and nonreplicative conditions); (ii) a vector for the wt 243-amino acid E1a protein (this complemented dl312 weakly and only under conditions of high multiplicities of dl312); (iii) a mutant, pSVXL105, in which amino acid residues-38 through 44 of the 289-amino acid E1a protein (which includes two highly conserved residues) are replaced by 3 novel amino acids (this also complemented dl312 efficiently). A fourth vector, mutant pSVXL3 with which linker substitution shifts the reading frame to encode a truncated 70-amino acid fragment from the amino terminus of the 289-amino acid protein, was unable to complement dl312. Surprisingly, pSVXL3 overexpressed E1a mRNA approximately 30-fold in COS 7 cells in comparison with the other vectors. The pSVXL3 overexpression could be reversed by cotransfection with a wt E1a vector. We suggest that wt E1a proteins regulate the levels of their own mRNAs through the recently described transcription repression functions of the 289- and 243-amino acid E1a protein products and that pSVXL3 fails to autoregulate negatively.
