RESUMO
We used DNase I footprinting assays on nuclei isolated from adenovirus-infected cells to examine the nucleoprotein configuration of a 250-base-pair segment which encompasses the adenovirus type 5 major late (ML) and IVa2 promoters. At 12 and 20 h postinfection (p.i.), fine DNase I digestion mapping of wild-type adenovirus-infected cells revealed specific sequences protected from digestion which corresponded to promoter elements required for expression of the ML gene in vivo. At 12 h p.i., a G+C-rich region which lies upstream of the IVa2 cap site and is important for maximal IVa2 activity was also found masked to nuclease activity. At 20 h p.i., however, this element became more sensitive to nuclease attack, while the ML promoter elements stayed protected. No major changes in DNA-protein interactions were detected in the region spanning the ML and IVa2 cap sites upon promoter activation, suggesting that the binding properties of the cognate factors for this region are not modified during the process.
