RESUMO
The brain cell specificity of the human papovavirus JC virus was examined by site-directed mutagenesis of the nuclear factor 1 (NF1) motifs within the viral regulatory region. The NF1 motif sites, located within the 98-bp tandem repeats that contain 6-bp perfect inverted palindromic sequences, were important for glial cell-specific expression of JC virus in differentiated embryonal carcinoma cells in vivo. The NF1 site on the late side of the repeats was not important, a fact confirmed by in vitro transcription studies. These observations were correlated with in vitro DNase I footprinting and mobility shift assays, which demonstrated specific interactions of factors in glial cell nuclear extracts with NF1 sites.
