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 responsible for the trans-activation, whereas the 12S mRNA product has no effect. Analysis of the c-fos promoter sequences required for the E1A stimulation shows that responsive sequences are located between positions -402 and -240 upstream of the transcription initiation site. This same region also contains the c-fos serum-responsive element. Furthermore, transcription of the endogenous c-fos gene in HeLa cells is increased after E1A transfection.
2型腺病毒的E1A(早期区域1A)癌基因产物可反式激活其他早期病毒转录单位以及一些细胞启动子。通过在小鼠NIH 3T3成纤维细胞中进行短期共转染试验,我们发现E1A蛋白可刺激c-fos和c-myc启动子活性,而c-Ha-ras转录不受影响。E1A 13S mRNA的产物负责反式激活,而12S mRNA产物则无此作用。对E1A刺激所需的c-fos启动子序列进行分析表明,反应序列位于转录起始位点上游-402至-240位之间。该区域还包含c-fos血清反应元件。此外,在E1A转染后,HeLa细胞中内源性c-fos基因的转录增加。
