RESUMO
The minimal enhancer in the long control region of human papillomavirus type 16 regulates cell type and constitutive expression from the promoter P97. This region contains at least four DNase I footprints (fp4e, fp5e, fp6e, and fp7e). We have shown that fp5e is crucial to enhancer function and have described an apparently novel factor (PEF-1) binding fp5e (S. Cuthill, G. J. Sibbet, and M. S. Campo, Mol. Carcinog. 8:9-104, 1993). Further analyses reveal that Oct-1 or an Oct-related factor binds fp5e at a site overlapping that of PEF-1. The binding of Oct-1 to fp5e has been demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays, by oligonucleotide competition studies, and by using an Oct-1-specific anti-POU serum. The location of the Oct-1 site has been confirmed by a panel of mutants across fp5e. Mutations that block PEF-1 binding to fp5e also block enhancer/promoter activity of the long control region, whereas mutations that block Oct-1 binding significantly increase enhancer/promoter activity. Thus, although both PEF-1 and Oct-1 interact with fp5e, they appear to regulate human papillomavirus expression in opposite ways.
