The early promoter of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus gp64 gene is active when transfected into several insect cell lines and does not require viral gene products for transcription in uninfected cells. Because previous studies have shown that the gp64 early promoter is activated above basal levels in uninfected cells, host transcription factors are likely to play a role in gp64 activation at early times postinfection. By using nuclear extracts from uninfected Sf9 cells for electrophoretic mobility shift analysis of gp64 regulatory regions, host nuclear proteins were shown to bind specifically to the upstream regulatory region of the gp64 early promoter. Host factor binding was mapped to a 24-bp sequence centered approximately 35 bp upstream of the TATA box. Two consensus eukaryotic transcription factor-binding site motifs, GATA and CACGTG, were identified within the 24-bp sequence. Competition assays using oligonucleotides containing either a GATA or a CACGTG motif and similar oligonucleotides with point mutations in these sites showed that each site is required for binding host transcription factors. To investigate the functional significance of host factor binding to GATA and CACGTG motifs, constructs containing point mutations in these motifs were examined in transient expression assays. Mutations in either or both GATA and CACGTG sites decreased reporter activity in transient expression assays, suggesting that binding of host transcription factors to these motifs is important in transcriptional regulation of the gp64 early promoter.
