Abstract

One of the major E1A-associated cellular proteins is a 300-kDa product (p300) that binds to the N-terminal region of the E1A products. The p300 binding site is distinct from sequences involved in binding the retinoblastoma product and other E1A-associated cellular products such as p60-cyclin A and p107. p300 binding to E1A is linked genetically to the enhancer repression function of E1A and the other E1A-mediated gene-regulating functions as well as to the transforming functions of E1A. However, the biochemical properties of p300 have not yet been characterized. We report here that p300 has an intrinsic DNA-binding activity and shows a preferential affinity for specific DNA sequences. The sequences selectively bound by p300 are related to those of a series of enhancer elements that are recognized by NF-kappa B. The direct physical interaction of p300 with enhancer elements provides a biochemical basis for the genetic evidence linking the E1A-mediated enhancer repression function with the p300-binding activity of E1A.
