An early step in the initiation of polyomavirus DNA replication is viral large-T-antigen-mediated unwinding of the origin. We report that components of the AP1 transcription factor, Fos and Jun, interact with T antigen in vitro to enhance unwinding of the viral origin. This provides a biochemical basis for the capacity of AP1 to activate viral DNA replication in vivo.
多瘤病毒DNA复制起始的早期步骤是病毒大T抗原介导的起始点解旋。我们报道,AP1转录因子的组成成分Fos和Jun在体外与T抗原相互作用,以增强病毒起始点的解旋。这为AP1在体内激活病毒DNA复制的能力提供了生化基础。
