Deletion Analysis of Both the Long Terminal Repeat and the Internal Promoters of the Human Foamy Virus
Abstract
Deletion analyses of the long terminal repeat (LTR) and internal promoters (IP) of human foamy virus (HFV) showed that a negative acting element resides in the U5 region of the 5' LTR reducing reporter gene expression tenfold. The basal activity of the IP was higher than that obtained with LTR promoter constructs and strongly elevated in permissive BHK-21 cells whereas semi-permissive COS-7 cells showed low basal activity. Since the basal activity of the IP is critical for initiating HFV gene expression by providing Bel 1 transactivator early after infection, the basal activity of the IP may be the crucial factor that contributes to whether cells are permissive for HFV infection or not. Deletion mutagenesis allowed to define the minimal IP region. A region strongly transactivated by Bel 1 extends from -136 to +58 relative to the cap site of the IP. The major Bel 1 response element of the IP required for transactivation is located upstream of the cap site between -136 and -88 relative to the internal cap site. A DNA fragment reported to be protected by recombinant Bel 1 was deleted with marginal reduction of Bel 1 transactivation. HFV gene expression directed by the IP and LTR promoters is thus multiply regulated by positive and negative acting response elements in cis and their binding partners in trans.

In spumaviruses, transcription from the LTR promoter depends on Tas expressed from the IP; use of the IP allows enough Tas to accumulate, facilitating efficient binding to the LTR promoter rather than to the IP, enabling efficient transcription of viral transcripts that express structural and enzymatic proteins.
“In spumaviruses, since transcription from the LTR promoter depends on Tas (trans-activator of spumavirus), which is expressed from the IP, use of the IP allows enough Tas to accumulate, facilitating its efficient binding to the LTR promoter rather than to the IP. This enables efficient transcription of viral transcripts that express structural and enzymatic proteins (Yang et al. 1997, Kang et al.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
