Functional dissection of VP16, the trans-activator of herpes simplex virus immediate early gene expression.
Open accessAbstract
Mature virions of herpes simplex virus type 1 contain an activating factor that primes transcription from the five virally encoded immediate early (IE) genes. This activator is specified by a 65-kD polypeptide termed VP16. The action of VP16 is mediated through cis-regulatory elements located in regions adjacent to each IE gene. Although VP16 is normally introduced into cells by infecting virions, its trans-activating function can also be observed by cotransfecting cells with a plasmid that encodes VP16 along with a reporter gene driven by IE cis-regulatory sequences. We have used such an assay to examine the function of mutant forms of VP16. Our results provide tentative identification of two domains of VP16 that are crucial to its role in the induction of IE gene expression. One domain is located within the carboxy-terminal 78 amino acids of VP16 and is characterized by its acidity. Another domain, located in a more amino-terminal region of the protein, appears to tailor the specificity of VP16 for IE genes. According to the results presented in this and the accompanying paper, we predict that VP16 achieves IE gene specificity via protein: protein, rather than protein: DNA, interaction.

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.
