RESUMO
Proteins encoded by the adenovirus E1A oncogene are capable of positive and negative transcriptional regulation of both viral and cellular genes. E1A regulatory function is commonly thought to involve modifications of specific cellular factors that interact with responsive promoters. In this report we present evidence that E1A induces the activity of the jun/AP-1 transcription factor in three different cell types: P19, JEG-3, and HeLa. AP-1 binds to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-responsive elements (TREs); therefore, E1A might modulate a specific signal transduction pathway normally induced by activation of the protein kinase C. Binding of jun/AP-1 to a TRE is induced in all cell types studied when E1A is expressed. We observe that the expression of endogenous c-jun and jun B genes is induced by E1A, which directly transactivates the promoters of c-fos, c-jun, and jun B. Similar inducibility is obtained by treatment with retinoic acid and differentiation of P19-embryonal carcinoma cells. The E1A 13S product transactivates TRE sequences and cooperates with c-jun in the transcriptional stimulation. The 12S E1A product does not activate a TRE sequence, but cotransfection with c-jun circumvents this lack of stimulation. Coexpression of c-fos and E1A 12S, however, blocks the transactivation by c-jun, suggesting an important role for fos in determining the dominance of the 12S or 13S protein.
