RESUMO
As an approach to the identification of essential factors required for specific expression of the adenovirus type 2 EIIaE early (EIIaE) promoter, an in vitro system was established. Under appropriate conditions, using crude extracts of non-infected HeLa cells, efficient and accurate EIIaE expression has been reproduced. As in vivo, this transcription was strongly dependent upon the integrity of two non-consensus TATA-like elements, T1 and T2, corresponding to the major (EIIaE1) and minor (EIIaE2) start sites, respectively, as well as upon intact upstream elements (A, between -40 and -50 and B, between -70 and -90) common to both overlapping promoters. The implication of specific DNA-binding proteins in the transcriptional effects mediated by these elements was demonstrated by DNAse I footprinting analyses. Both crude nuclear extracts and partially purified fractions confer specific protection against DNAse I digestion to the T1 and B promoter elements defined above, and to a far upstream region (element C, between -110 and -150), which has previously been identified as a weaker promoter element by in vivo transcriptional studies. Separation of the T1 recognition factor from those which bind to the upstream elements B and C by chromatographic fractionation of the extracts has also been achieved.
