Aedes aegypti densonucleosis virus (AeDNV) has two promoters that have been shown to be active by reporter gene expression analysis (B. N. Afanasiev, Y. V. Koslov, J. O. Carlson, and B. J. Beaty, Exp. Parasitol. 79:322-339, 1994). Northern blot analysis of cells infected with AeDNV revealed two transcripts 1,200 and 3,500 nucleotides in length that are assumed to express the structural protein (VP) gene and nonstructural protein genes, respectively. Primer extension was used to map the transcriptional start site of the structural protein gene. Surprisingly, the structural protein gene transcript began at an initiator consensus sequence, CAGT, 60 nucleotides upstream from the map unit 61 TATAA sequence previously thought to define the promoter. Constructs with the beta-galactosidase gene fused to the structural protein gene were used to determine elements necessary for promoter function. Deletion or mutation of the initiator sequence, CAGT, reduced protein expression by 93%, whereas mutation of the TATAA sequence at map unit 61 had little effect. An additional open reading frame was observed upstream of the structural protein gene that can express beta-galactosidase at a low level (20% of that of VP fusions). Expression of the AeDNV structural protein gene was shown to be stimulated by the major nonstructural protein NS1 (Afanasiev et al., Exp. parasitol., 1994). To determine the sequences required for transactivation, expression of structural protein gene-beta-galactosidase gene fusion constructs differing in AeDNV genome content was measured with and without NS1. The presence of NS1 led to an 8- to 10-fold increase in expression when either genomic end was present, compared to a 2-fold increase with a construct lacking the genomic ends. An even higher (37-fold) increase in expression occurred with both genomic ends present; however, this was in part due to template replication as shown by Southern blot analysis. These data indicate the location and importance of various elements necessary for efficient protein expression and transactivation from the structural protein gene promoter of AeDNV.
