Transient expression assays using the reporter gene that encodes chloramphenicol acetyltransferase were used to identify cis-acting sequences necessary for bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) transactivation. Computer analyses identified two RNA stem-loop structures located immediately downstream of the transcription start site in the long terminal repeat. Deletion analysis of the long terminal repeat indicated that sequences containing the proximal stem-loop structure located between +4 and +31 are required for virus-specific transactivation. Therefore, BIV likely utilizes a mechanism of transactivation similar to that of the human and simian lentiviruses.
使用编码氯霉素乙酰转移酶的报告基因进行的瞬时表达分析,用于鉴定牛免疫缺陷样病毒(BIV)反式激活所需的顺式作用序列。计算机分析确定了位于长末端重复序列转录起始位点紧邻下游的两个RNA茎环结构。长末端重复序列的缺失分析表明,病毒特异性反式激活需要包含位于+4和+31之间的近端茎环结构的序列。因此,BIV可能利用了一种类似于人类和猿猴慢病毒的反式激活机制。
