The human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV-11) E7 protein can modulate host cell functions and is required for papilloma formation, but little is known concerning the regulation of its expression. This study was designed to determine whether the viral upstream regulatory region controlled expression from the E7 promoter and whether cis sequences differentially regulated E6 and E7 expression in laryngeal mucosal keratinocytes, the natural target cells for this virus. Reporter constructs were designed to study expression of the luciferase gene from the HPV-11 E7 promoter in its natural position downstream of a functional E6 promoter. E7 expression, like E6 expression, required upstream regulatory sequences. However, E7 expression was less sensitive to repression by viral E2 protein and to mutation of the Spl binding site adjacent to the E2 binding site. Moreover, there was differential sensitivity of the two promoters to mutation of the E6 TATA box, with E7 expression more affected than E6 expression. These findings show that, in the normal host cells for this virus, the E6 and E7 promoters can be independently regulated by the cis regulatory region adjacent to the E6 promoter. 相似文献

Previous experiments from our laboratory (Codina, J., Kone, B. C., Delmas-Mata, J. T., and DuBose, T. D., Jr. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 29759-29763) demonstrated that the alpha-subunit of the colonic H+, K+-ATPase (HKalpha2) requires coexpression with a beta-subunit to support H+/K+ transport in a heterologous expression system (Xenopus laevis oocytes). In these studies, HKalpha2 formed stable and functional alpha.beta complexes when coexpressed with either the rat beta1-subunit of the Na+,K+-ATPase or the beta-subunit of the gastric H+,K+-ATPase, suggesting that different beta-subunits may interact with HKalpha2. The present studies tested this hypothesis by development and application of a specific antibody against HKalpha2 peptide. Subsequently, immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to determine if HKalpha2 co-precipitates with the same beta-subunit in organs known to express HKalpha2 protein. The data demonstrate that HKalpha2 assembles with beta1-Na+,K+-ATPase in the renal medulla and in distal colon. 相似文献

Heterologous expression of the beta subunit of H+/K(+)-ATPase (HK beta) with alpha subunits of Na+/K(+)-ATPase (NK alpha) in yeast leads to the formation of ouabain binding complexes, indicating assembly of the two subunits into active ion pumps (Eakle, K. A., Kim, K. S., Kabalin, M. A., and Farley, R. A. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 89, 2834-2838). Complexes of NK alpha and HK beta are less sensitive to inhibition of ouabain binding by K+, suggesting that HK beta lowers the affinity of K+ binding sites. This effect is particularly pronounced when HK beta is combined with the alpha 3 isoform of NK alpha. In this case, titration with K+ yields a biphasic curve, suggesting that there are two nonequivalent sites for K+ binding. Attempts at purifying complexes formed with either alpha 1 + HK beta or alpha 3 + HK beta using SDS extraction of microsomal membranes resulted in the loss of ouabain binding. Controls show that alpha 1 + beta 1 and alpha 3 + beta 1 complexes still retain ouabain binding after SDS extraction under the same conditions. This suggests that the HK beta subunit forms a less stable complex with NK alpha subunits. We have created chimeric beta subunits comprised of the amino-terminal cytoplasmic and transmembrane regions of HK beta combined with the carboxyl-terminal extracellular region of Na+/K(+)-ATPase beta 1 (HN beta 1) and the complementary chimera with amino-terminal cytoplasmic and transmembrane regions of beta 1 combined with the carboxyl-terminal extracellular region of HK beta (NH beta 1). When NH beta 1 is combined with either alpha 1 or alpha 3, the complexes show profiles of K+ inhibition of ouabain binding that are very similar to HK beta combined with either alpha 1 or alpha 3. The data suggest that the extracellular region of HK beta is primarily responsible for the effect on apparent K+ affinity. When the HN beta 1 subunit is expressed with the alpha 3 subunit, less than 5% of the amount of ouabain binding complexes are formed compared with HN beta 1 + alpha 1. This observation suggests that the HN beta 1 subunit either assembles poorly or forms an unstable complex with alpha 3. After SDS extraction, complexes of alpha 1 + NH beta 1 and alpha 3 + NH beta 1 retain ouabain binding, while alpha 1 + HN beta 1 complexes are sensitive to SDS extraction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献
