Abstract
- We identified a bifunctional regulatory element located between nt 374 and 431 upstream of TATA box of porcine adenovirus (PAV) 3 E1A promoter. Deletion of the element dramatically reduced the steady-state level of E1A mRNA, but increased that of E1B, which lies immediately downstream of E1A. The mutant virus displayed defective replication at early times of infection, but replicated nearly as efficiently as wild-type PAV-3 at late times of infection. This defect was complemented with coinfecting wild-type virus in a mixed infection. The results indicated that the upstream activation sequences (UAS) of E1A overlap the upstream repression sequences (URS) of E1B, although both transcription units are transcribed from different promoters.
