Functional cis-acting regulatory elements in the bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) were identified by deletion mapping and nuclear protein gel shift analysis using three BIV-infectible cell lines, Cf2Th, BLAC-20, and EREp. Deletion mapping studies indicated that putative NF-kappa B, GRE, AP-4, AP-1, CAAT, and ATF/CRE transcription factor elements positively contribute to LTR-directed gene expression in each cell line both in the presence and absence of the viral transactivator Tat. Sp1 and overlapping AP-3 and retroviral core enhancer elements had variable effects on LTR-directed gene expression depending on cell type and presence or absence of Tat. In addition, a sequence spanning the LTR U5 region and the untranslated viral leader was strongly repressive in all cell lines. Tat transactivated the LTR 25-fold over basal levels in a TAR-dependent manner in Cf2Th cells. In contrast, Tat transactivated the LTR only 2.5-fold over basal levels in EREp and BLAC-20 cells in a TAR-independent manner. Probes for putative NF-kappa B, GRE, Sp1, AP-4, AP-1, overlapping AP-3 and retroviral core enhancer, and juxtaposed CAAT and ATF-CRE elements specifically bound nuclear proteins from these three cell lines and HeLa cells, with the stoichiometry of binding being cell-type dependent. Probes for AP-4, AP-1, and juxtaposed CAAT and ATF/CRE elements exhibited greater protein binding with extracts from virally infected cells than with extracts from uninfected cells, suggesting that viral infection can modulate nuclear factor binding. The present studies indicate that several transcription factor elements in the BIV LTR have functional roles and that cell type can strongly determine the role they play in gene expression.
