中文摘要
这个提案的重点是蛋白质--蛋白质和蛋白质--DNA
病毒转录因子VP16与单纯疱疹病毒的相互作用
病毒病毒体成分,在感染后,负责增强
病毒即刻早期基因的表达。 这个的目标
建议有两个方面。 首先,他们是针对理解,
详细描述了蛋白质-蛋白质和蛋白质-DNA相互作用,其中VP 16
参与,涉及人同源结构域蛋白Oct-1的相互作用,
另一种称为HCF的宿主细胞蛋白和TAATGARAT顺式元件。
其次,它们被设计来确定类似的机制是否
在正常的细胞转录过程中起作用。 后面的实验
将以最近的研究结果为指导,这些研究表明,
VP16可以识别Oct-1同源结构域,并且VP16和Oct-1结合
TAATGARAT序列内的相邻顺式子元件。 研究
具体目标1中所述的方法使用足迹法和蛋白质-DNA
交联技术来鉴定Oct-1识别的序列,
TAATGARAT顺式元件内的VP16。 具体描述的研究
目的2旨在了解VP16功能的结构基础。

确定负责与Oct-1相关的VP16区域
同源结构域、HCF和DNA。并验证一个假设,
VP16亚结构域负责Oct-1同源结构域识别。
具体目标3涉及目前已知的HCF的身份
仅作为色谱级分。 HCF将从哺乳动物中纯化
和果蝇提取物通过蛋白质亲和性和

英文摘要
This proposal focuses on the protein--protein and protein--DNA
interactions of a viral transcription factor, VP16, a herpes simplex
virus virion component that, upon infection, is responsible for boosting
expression of the viral immediate-early genes. The goals of this
proposal are two-fold. First, they are directed at understanding in
detail the protein--protein and protein--DNA interactions in which VP 16
participates, Interactions involving the human homeodomain protein Oct-1,
another host cell protein termed HCF, and TAATGARAT cis-elements.
Second, they are designed to determine whether analogous mechanisms
operate during normal cellular transcription. The latter experiments
will be guided by the results of recent studies which have shown that
VPI6 can recognize the Oct-1 homeodomain, and that VP16 and Oct-1 bind
adjacent cis-subelements within TAATGARAT sequences. The studies
described in Specific Aim 1 employ footprinting and protein--DNA
crosslinking techniques to identify the sequences recognized by Oct-1 and
VP16 within TAATGARAT cis-elements. The studies described in Specific
Aim 2 are aimed at understanding the structural basis of VP16 function.
Among other techniques, they will employ site-directed mutagenesis to
identify the regions of VP16 responsible for association with the Oct-1
homeodomain, HCF, and DNA. and test the hypothesis that an independent
VP16 subdomain is responsible for Oct-1 homeodomain recognition.
Specific Aim 3 is concerned with the identity of HCF, presently known
only as chromatographic fraction. HCF will be purified from mammalian
and Drosophila extracts by a combination of protein-affinity and
conventional chromatographic techniques. Alternatively, if purification
proves difficult, cDNA's encoding HCF activity will be cloned by genetic
complementation in yeast. Lastly, Specific Aim 4 is designed to test the
hypothesis that interactions analogous to those of VP16 and the Oct- 1
homeodomain occur during normal cellular transcription. These studies
will be based on the identification of the VP16 region involved in Oct-1
homeodomain association; if cellular transcription factors that function
analogously to VPI6 exist, this homeodomain-recognition subdomain may
have been conserved among them. Two strategies will be employed to
exploit this potential conservation. First, PCR techniques will be
utilized to identify similar protein-coding regions in cellular cDNA, and
second, antisera raised against the VP16 homeodomain-recognition
subdomain will be used to screen cDNA expression libraries. If these two
strategies prove unsuccessful, an alternative approach using a novel
"fusion-phage" cDNA cloning technique will be employed to detect proteins
that can interact with homeodomains.
