RESUMO
The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a crucial component of eukaryotic cell cycle and DNA replication complexes, is induced by the adenovirus E1A 243R oncoprotein through a cis-acting element termed the PERE (PCNA-E1A responsive element). The PERE contains a sequence homologous to an activating transcription factor (ATF) motif, and ATF-1 is a major component of PERE-protein complexes. We have identified a second PERE-binding protein, the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) transcription factor, which forms heterodimers with ATF-1 at this site. CREB, but not ATF-1, is able to mediate transactivation of a minimal PCNA-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter by E1A 243R. Further analysis revealed that the transcriptional coactivator, the CREB-binding protein (CBP), associates with PERE-related complexes, and that CBP is able to mediate a strong transactivation response to E1A 243R at the PCNA promoter. Experiments conducted with mutants in the E1A or CREB components support a model whereby E1A 243R transactivates the PCNA promoter via a CBP-CREB-PERE pathway. These findings delineate a paradigm by which E1A 243R can target and transactivate specific DNA promoter sequences.
