An E1-E3-deleted recombinant adenovirus vector expressing the hybrid protein TetR-KRAB has been produced. In this virus, AdTG9562, the E2 transcription is regulated by TetR-KRAB and tetO sequences inserted in cis. In the absence of tetracycline, a strong reduction in E2A gene expression, viral DNA replication, and late gene expression was observed in noncomplementing A549 cells, and a reduction in viral growth was seen in the E1-expressing 293 cells. In contrast, there was no repression in the presence of the regulator tetracycline. We propose that regulation by TetR-KRAB is a valuable tool with which to study the effects of viral gene expression in vitro.
已构建出一种表达杂交蛋白TetR-KRAB的E1-E3缺失重组腺病毒载体。在这种名为AdTG9562的病毒中,E2转录受顺式插入的TetR-KRAB和tetO序列调控。在无四环素的情况下,在非互补性A549细胞中观察到E2A基因表达、病毒DNA复制和晚期基因表达显著降低,在表达E1的293细胞中病毒生长也有所减少。相比之下,在存在调节因子四环素的情况下则没有抑制作用。我们认为,TetR-KRAB介导的调控是一种用于在体外研究病毒基因表达影响的有价值工具。
