Using gel shift assays, we found that the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat protein (Tat-1) bound both HIV-1 and HIV-2 TAR RNAs with similar high affinities. In contrast, the HIV-2 Tat protein (Tat-2) bound only TAR-2 RNA with high affinity. We conclude that the weak in vivo activity of Tat-2 on the HIV-1 long terminal repeat that has been observed previously is likely the result of low affinity for TAR-1 RNA. Additionally, TAR-2 RNA was found to contain multiple specific binding sites for Tat proteins. GAL4-Tat fusion proteins were analyzed to compare the relative transactivation activities of Tat-1 and Tat-2 in the absence of requirements for binding to TAR RNAs. The GAL4-Tat-2 protein was found to transactivate synthetic promoters containing GAL4 binding sites at levels severalfold higher than did the GAL4-Tat-1 protein. 相似文献

Expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is strongly activated by Tat. The proper action of Tat requires three elements: TATAA, TAR, and upstream motifs in the HIV-1 long terminal repeat. We show here that the correct spatial arrangement among Tat, Sp1, and TATAA crucially influences HIV expression. Under conditions in which basal promoter activity is unperturbed, distancing Sp1 from TATAA markedly affected Tat trans activation. An increase in the Sp1-TATAA distance from 18 to 101 nucleotides (depending on the inserted sequence) rendered HIV-1 either partially or wholly replication defective. This critical dependence on spacing suggests that Tat-, Sp1-, and TATAA-binding factors must correctly contact each other for optimal expression and replication of HIV-1. 相似文献

We previously reported (K. T. Jeang, R. Chun, N. H. Lin, A. Gatignol, C. G. Glabe, and H. Fan, J. Virol. 67:6224–6233, 1993) that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat and Sp1 form a protein-protein complex. Here, we have characterized the physical interaction and a functional consequence of Tat-Sp1 contact. Using in vitro protein chromatography, we mapped the region in Tat that contacts Sp1 to amino acids 30 to 55. We found that in cell-free reactions, Tat augmented double-stranded DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK)-mediated Sp1 phosphorylation in a contact-dependent manner. Tat mutants that do not bind Sp1 failed to influence phosphorylation of the latter. In complementary experiments, we also found that Tat forms protein-protein contacts with DNA-PK. We confirmed that in HeLa and Jurkat cells, Tat expression indeed increased the intracellular amount of phosphorylated Sp1 in a manner consistent with the results of cell-free assays. Furthermore, using two phosphatase inhibitors and a kinase inhibitor, we demonstrated a modulation of reporter gene expression as a consequence of changes in Sp1 phosphorylation. Taken together, these findings suggest that activity at the HIV-1 promoter is influenced by phosphorylation of Sp1 which is affected by Tat and DNA-PK. 相似文献
