The adenovirus 2 E1A gene encodes a multifunctional protein of 289 amino acids that can immortalize primary rodent cells and transcriptionally activate a number of viral and cellular genes. To facilitate an understanding of the molecular basis for the various actions of E1A, we have redesigned our bacterial expression vector (Ko, J.-L., and Harter, M. L. (1984) Mol. Cell. Biol. 4, 1427-1439) containing the cloned E1A gene such that a soluble authentic E1A protein now constitutes approximately 1.5% of the total Escherichia coli cellular protein. Further, we have developed a simple rapid purification scheme without the use of detergents or denaturants and show a purity of greater than 98% with a yield of approximately 53%. The E1A so purified is biologically active, stimulating cellular DNA synthesis following microinjection into quiescent NIH 3T3 and REF52 cells. In another report (Spangler, R., Bruner, M., Dalie, B., and Harter, M. L. (1987) Science 237, 1044-1046) we have also shown that our purified E1A protein activates transcription from appropriate promoters in an in vitro system.
