Iranian Biomedical Journal 2 (2): 49-57 (April 1998) Transcriptional Coactivator CBP Facilitates Transcription
Initiation and Reinitiation of HTLV-I and Cyclin D2 Promoter
LRBGE, Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Building 41, Room B403, ABSTRACT
HTLV-I is the etiologic agent for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-I-
associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Taxi, the major activator of this
virus, is a 40- kDa (353 amino acid) phosphoprotein, predominantly localized in the nucleus of
the host cell, which functions to trans-activate both viral and cellular promoters. Recently it has
been shown that HTLV-I and /or Taxl expressing cells have altered gene expression of some of
the cell cycle associated genes. Tax activates HTLV-I as well as number of other cellular
promoters through CREB, NF-kB and SRE elements. In this study we analyzed the effect of a
general coactivator, namely CBP, which may
be involved in activation of many cellular genes. To
analyze CBP transcription activation, we have utilized an
in vitro transcription assay that allows
the analysis of transcription initiation and reinitiation in the absence of chromatin effects. In
this assay, which utilizes a G-free cassette downstream of the Tax-responsive 21 by repeats,
polymerase II molecules responsible for the first round of transcription remain at the end of the
G-free region, effectively blocking the complete elongation of reinitiated transcripts. Addition of
Tax and a 682 amino acid fragment of CBP to the
in vitro transcription reactions increased both
full-length and shorter transcripts resulting from reinitiation. A CBP deletion mutant lacking
the N-terminal activation domain was inactive. Preliminary data is also presented to show that,
transactivation of HTLV-I and a cellular promoter, namely cyclin D2, takes place in early
GO/G1 before the restriction point, "R", where Rb function has been implicated.

In HTLV-I, the pX the Tax gene [4], it was able to transform T- region contains four ORFs, X-I, X-II, X-III and lymphocytes of the same phenotype as found X-IV. Tax is encoded primarily by the X-IV with HTLV-I. Of the three proteins encoded by reading frame, while Rexi is encoded by the X-III the pX region, Tax is critical for transformation, reading frame. The AUG initiation codons for both since specific mutations of the tax gene AUG Tax and Rex are located in the second exon of the initiation codon eliminated the transformation doubly spliced mRNA. Taxi transcriptionally acti- vates viral mRNA synthesis, leading to an initial increase in the levels of Tax1 and Rex [3].
Tax is a 40-kDa (353 amino acid) phosphopro- tein, predominantly localized in the nucleus of the host cell, which functions to transactivate required for passage through START, the G1 both viral and cellular promoters. Taxi has not restriction point and transition at G1/S. Three been shown to bind directly to Taxi-responsive novel types of putative mammalian G1 cyclins were isolated by using human cDNA libraries to transactivation occurs through indirect effects of complement CLN-deficient yeast and designated Taxi on transcription factors which bind to the as cyclins C, D, and E [19]. PRAD 1 was cloned TREs [6]. Likely mechanisms for Taxi trans- uy a gene rearranged in an parathyroid tumor and activation include: (1) transcriptional induction is identical to human cyclin DI [20]. A murine of TRE-binding transcription factors; (2) post- homologue of cyclin D1 was independently isolated factors; or (3) complex formation with trans- macrophages synchronously progressing through G1 cription factors allowing indirect binding of Taxi in response to colony-stimulating factor 1. The Tax 1 has been shown to trans-activate several identify two related genes, murine cyclin D2 and D3. Unlike other types of cyclin, cyclins DE D2, transfection), including IL-2 [7], IL-2R [8], and D3 have unique cell- and tissue-specific GM-CSF [9], proliferating cell nuclear antigen patterns of expression, suggesting that each D- type cyclin may have a distinct mechanism for protein (PTHrP) [11], c-fos, csis [12] and others transcriptional regulation. Over expression of any and to negatively regulate Bpolymerase [13], a of D-type cyclins can accelerate the timing of host DNA-repair enzyme. It is likely that Tax START and shorten the G1 intervals [21]. With induction of cellular genes is critical for virus respect to general structure of cyclin D2 replication and cell transformation.
Recently it has been shown that HTLV-I and/or vicinity of the transcription start sites, however, putative DNA binding sites for Spl, CREB, expression of some of the cell cycle associated C/EBP, PEA3, NFkB, SIF, E2F, GCF, and AP1 genes. Among these changes high levels of p53, were identified in the cyclin D2 upstream cdk inhibitor p21, Cyclin D2 and lower levels of sequence. The CAP site in the promoter was cyclin D3, cdk inhibitor p16 have been observed shown to be a loosely conserved sequence where [14]. In vitro binding assays has also indicated that number of transcription sites have been observed Tax binds pi 6INK4a (cdk/cyclin D inhibitor), but not p21c'Pl or p27kwl and it forms complexes with Here we show that Taxl associated activity p16INK4a in vivo [15, 16].

Various infected or control transcription reactions with a G-free template cells were either blocked with hydroxyurea for containing the Tax-responsive 21 by repeats 18 hours, or blocked with hydroxyurea, washed upstream of the TATA box. Our initial studies and released for 1 hour followed by addition of utilized a fragment of CBP containing amino nocodazole for 14 hours (50 ng/ml). Following acids 1-682, CBP (1-682), which can activate the block, cells were washed with PBS (2x) and transcription when fused to a Gal-4 DNA binding domain and has protein interaction domains forTBP, CREB and Tax (Figure 1A). This region ofCBP is sufficient for transcription activation andformation of the Tax-CREB-CBP complex. Wesubsequently tested two deletion mutants of thisCBP domain, CBP (451-682) and CBP (509-682). In the absence of exogenous CBP andlimiting Tax protein, Tax only modestly activatedthe HTLV-I CRE promoter (Figure 1B, lanes 1and 2). The addition of Tax and CBP (1-682)stimulated the appearance of the 360 base (360 b)transcript ten-fold (Figure 1B, lane 3). Thedifficulty in obtaining an efficient in vitro Taxtransactivation system in the past may be due tothe fact that CBP is a limiting component within theextracts. CBP (451-682) or (509-682) failed to ac-tivate transcription (Figure 1B, lanes 4 and 5), sug-gesting that the CBP amino terminus is essential forTax activity. Swope et al. have recently reported thatCBP(1-400) interacts with the basal transcriptionfactor TBP [24[. Thus, our results suggest that theinteraction of CBP with TBP (TFIID) may beimportant for Tax-dependent CBP activation. Ascontrols for the in vitro transcription assays, additionof either CBP- or Tax-, but not control-, antibodiesinhibited the in vitro transcription (data not shown).
In addition, a template which lacked the 21 byrepeats was not transactivated by the addition of Taxand CBP (Figure 1C).
To determine whether Tax and CBP affect both the initiation and reinitiation of transcription, weused 3'-0-Methyl GTP in the in vitro transcriptionassay. As described by Szentirmay and Sawadogo[25], in the presence of 3'-0-Methyl GTP, the firstround of poi II elongation complexes remain at theend of a G-free region, blocking the elongation ofpol II complexes that result from reinitiation(Figure 2C). As a result, successive polymerasesstack up from the end of the cassette, producingshorter transcripts representing rounds of reinitia-tion. Figure 2A shows that addition of both Tax andCBP stimulate the appearance of the full length 360b transcript as well as discrete shorter transcripts ofapproximately 280, 240, 210, 180, 165, and 144bases.
