Abstract:
:The varicella-zoster virus major transactivator, IE62, contains a potent N-terminal acidic transcriptional activation domain (TAD). Our experiments revealed that the minimal IE62 TAD encompasses amino acids (aa) 19 to 67. We showed that the minimal TAD interacts with the human Mediator complex. Site-specific mutations revealed residues throughout the minimal TAD that are important for both activation and Mediator interaction. The TAD interacts directly with aa 402 to 590 of the MED25 subunit, and site-specific TAD mutations abolished this interaction. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that the TAD is intrinsically unstructured. Our studies suggest that transactivation may involve the TAD adopting a defined structure upon binding MED25.
