The sequence of the 17,166-base-pair EcoRI C fragment of Epstein-Barr virus DNA, cell line B95-8, was determined. In vitro transcription was used to identify three RNA polymerase II promoters within this fragment of the virus. Cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNAs starting at these points were demonstrated in B95-8 cells induced into virus production with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. Uninduced B95-8 cells contained much less of these RNAs. The upstream sequences near the three promoters show striking homologies that may be involved in transcriptional control.
测定了爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒DNA(细胞系B95-8)17,166碱基对EcoRI C片段的序列。利用体外转录来鉴定该病毒片段内的三个RNA聚合酶II启动子。在用12-O-十四烷酰佛波醇-13-乙酸酯诱导产生病毒的B95-8细胞中,证实了从这些位点起始的细胞质多聚腺苷酸(poly(A)+)RNA。未诱导的B95-8细胞中这些RNA的含量要少得多。三个启动子附近的上游序列显示出显著的同源性,这可能与转录调控有关。
