Abstract:
:Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (Tag) is a promiscuous transcriptional transactivator; however, its mechanism of transactivation remains unknown. Recent studies have suggested the possible involvement of protein-protein interactions with TBP, the TATA box-binding protein of TFIID, and TEF-1, an enhancer-binding factor. We show here that (i) the Tag domain containing amino acids 133 to 249 directly interacts with the general transcription factor TFIIB, the activator protein Sp1, and the 140-kDa subunit of RNA polymerase II, as well as with TBP and TEF-1; (ii) these interactions can also occur when these transcription factors are present in their functional states in cellular extracts; (iii) binding of Tag to TBP is eliminated by preincubation of TBP either at 48 degrees C or with the adenovirus 13S E1a protein; (iv) this domain of Tag cannot bind concurrently to more than one of these transcription factors; and (v) the substitution of Tag amino acid residues 173 and 174 inactivates the ability of this Tag domain both to associate with any of these transcription factors and to transactivate the SV40 late promoter. Thus, we conclude that SV40 Tag probably does not transactivate via the concurrent interaction with multiple components of the preinitiation complex. Rather, we hypothesize that transactivation by Tag may primarily occur by removing or preventing the binding of factors that inhibit the formation of preinitiation complexes.
