Activation of the transcription unit early region 2 (E2) promoter of the oncogenic adenovirus serotype 12 (Ad12), which regulates the expression of proteins essential for viral replication, requires the assembly of a ternary complex consisting of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-1/activating transcription factor (ATF)-1, the Ad12 12S oncogene product of early region 1A (E1A(12S)), and the co-activator p300/CBP on the E2(Ad12) cAMP response element (E2-CRE). Here we show that the active E2(Ad12) promoter is associated with acetylated histone H4 whereas an E2-CRE point-mutated promoter which is transcriptionally inactive due to its inability to assemble this ternary complex is not bound by acetylated histone H4. The histone deacetylase 1 as well as Roscovitine, which blocks the activation of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity of CBP by cyclin E-Cdk2, prevents E2(Ad12) promoter activation through E1A(12S). p300/CBP counteracts the repressive function of histone deacetylase 1 in a HAT domain-dependent manner whereas the p300/CBP-associated factor PCAF failed to rescue E2(Ad12) promoter activity. E1A(12S) bound p300/CBP displays strong HAT activity. Most interestingly, E1A(12S)-mediated activation of the E2(Ad12) promoter correlates well with the ability of the viral protein to associate with the HAT activity of p300/CBP in vivo. Taken together these data indicate that the recruitment of the HAT activity of p300/CBP by E1A(12S) plays an important role in E2(Ad12) promoter activation.
