Human adenovirus E1A proteins and oncogene products of several other DNA tumour viruses derive much of their oncogenic potential from interactions with cellular polypeptides. E1A proteins form complexes with p105Rb and a related p107 polypeptide, and with at least three other proteins (p60cycA, p130, and p300); all may be required for cell transformation. Using a series of E1A deletion mutants, we have carried out a quantitative analysis of the binding patterns of cellular proteins to E1A products. Binding of most of the proteins was affected at least partially by mutations within the amino terminal 25 residues, amino acids 36-69 within conserved region 1 (CR1), and residues 121-138 in conserved region 2 (CR2). However, the specific binding characteristics of each protein varied considerably. p300 was the only species for which binding was totally eliminated by deletions at the amino terminus. Removal of regions within CR1 eliminated binding of all species except p107 and p60cycA. Deletion of portions of CR2 reduced or eliminated binding of all proteins except p300. Thus, whereas cellular polypeptides generally were found to interact with the same three regions of E1A proteins, specific interactions varied considerably. 相似文献

Two regions near the amino terminus of the adenovirus E1A protein, which were first identified by sequence conservation among various adenovirus serotypes, have been shown by genetic studies to be essential for E1A-mediated transformation. These same regions are also required for interaction with a number of cellular proteins, including the retinoblastoma protein (pRB). Using synthetic peptides corresponding to portions of these conserved regions, we show that each region can bind independently to pRB. These interactions were observed in both competition and binding assays. In both types of assay, region 2 peptides (E1A amino acids 115 to 132) bound pRB with higher affinity than did region 1 peptides (E1A amino acids 37 to 54), while a peptide combining region 1 and 2 sequences consistently provided the highest-affinity interaction. Cross-blocking experiments using region 1 peptides and region 2 peptides suggested that these two regions of E1A make distinct contacts with pRB. These data support the notion that the pRB-binding domain of E1A contains at least two functional elements. 相似文献

Early gene E5 of bovine papillomavirus type 1 encodes a 44-amino-acid protein whose expression can transform immortalized mouse cell lines. We have previously reported that a chemically synthesized E5 peptide functions to induce cellular DNA synthesis upon microinjection into growth-arrested mouse cells. We further defined the two E5 domains essential for the full DNA synthesis induction activity by the analysis of E5 deletion and amino acid substitution mutant peptides. The first domain is the C-terminal 13-amino-acid core which is sufficient to activate DNA synthesis at high peptide concentration and contains two essential, highly conserved cysteine residues. The second domain is the 7-amino-acid hydrophobic sequence contiguous to the core domain which is sufficient to confer a 1,000-fold higher molar specific activity to the E5 peptide. A random hydrophobic sequence, but not charged amino acids, fulfills the function of the second domain. 相似文献

Adenovirus E1A transforming function requires two distinct regions of the protein. Transforming activity is closely linked with the presence of a region designated conserved domain 2 and the ability of this region to bind the product of the cellular retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene. We have investigated the biological properties of the second transforming region of E1A, which is located near the N terminus. Transformation-defective mutants containing deletions in the N terminus (deletion of residues between amino acids 2 and 36) were deficient in the ability to induce DNA synthesis and repress insulin enhancer-stimulated activity. The function of the N-terminal region correlated closely with binding of the 300-kilodalton E1A-associated protein and not with binding of the retinoblastoma protein. These results indicate that transformation by E1A is mediated by two functionally independent regions of the protein which interact with different specific cellular proteins and suggest that the 300-kilodalton E1A-associated protein plays a major role in E1A-mediated cell growth control mechanisms. 相似文献

The introduction of the adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) gene products into normal cells sensitizes these cells to the cytotoxic effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Previous studies have shown that the region of E1A responsible for susceptibility is CR1, a conserved region within E1A which binds the cellular proteins p300 and p105-Rb at nonoverlapping sites. Binding of these and other cellular proteins by E1A results in the induction of E1A-associated activities such as transformation, immortalization, DNA synthesis, and apoptosis. To investigate the mechanism by which E1A induces susceptibility to TNF, the NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line was infected with viruses containing mutations within E1A which abrogate binding of some or all of the cellular proteins to E1A. The results show that TNF susceptibility is induced by E1A binding to either p300 or p105-Rb. E1A mutants that bind neither p300 nor p105-Rb do not induce susceptibility to TNF. Experiments with stable cell lines created by transfection with either wild-type or mutant E1A lead to these same conclusions. In addition, a correlation between induction of DNA synthesis and induction of TNF sensitivity is seen. Only viruses which induce DNA synthesis can induce TNF sensitivity. Those viruses which do not induce DNA synthesis also do not induce TNF sensitivity. These data suggest that the mechanisms underlying induction of susceptibility to TNF by E1A are intimately connected to E1A's capacity to override cell cycle controls. 相似文献
