Abstract

The promoter of the human proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) gene is activated by the adenovirus oncoprotein E1A 243R in HeLa cells. To understand the effect of this oncoprotein on PCNA expression in cells that are sensitive to oncogenic transformation by adenovirus, we studied the effect of E1A 243R on PCNA promoter-directed reporter gene expression in cloned rat embryo fibroblast (CREF) and primary baby rat kidney cells. In contrast to the results obtained in HeLa cells, E1A repressed the PCNA promoter in both cell-types. Promoter analysis identified a p53-responsive element that mediates E1A-induced repression. Repression required the intact N-terminus of E1A 243R, as shown by the ability of mutant E1A proteins to repress the promoter, and correlated with the p300-binding region of E1A. The adenovirus E1B 19K protein relieved repression by E1A 243R. These results reveal dual pathways for induction of this essential DNA replication factor and suggest a mechanism for oncogenic cooperativity between the E1A and E1B oncoproteins.
