A cellular protein binds to a conserved sequence in the adenovirus type 2 enhancer.

A sensitive gel retention assay has been utilized to detect proteins from uninfected Hela nuclei which interact with the adenovirus type 2 enhancer. This assay has been employed to monitor fractionation of nuclear extracts. Three enhancer binding factors were resolved by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and one of the factors was further purified by chromatography on heparin-Sepharose. DNase protection experiments have shown that the heparin-Sepharose fraction contains a factor which binds predominantly to the conserved sequence GTGGAAATTT present at position 160 in the adenovirus type 2 genome and found in many viral and cellular enhancers. Protection of this sequence from DNase I digestion was abolished by competition with a synthetic duplex oligonucleotide spanning bases 144-181. This region corresponds to the sequence defined by Hen et al. as possessing enhancer function. Competition experiments indicated that the enhancer binding factor also bound, albeit with reduced affinity, to multiple sites in the Ela upstream region located between positions 192 and 353. Within the sequences which compete are regions with homology to the high affinity site at position 160. The enhancer binding factor also binds with high affinity to sequences within the SV40 enhancer demonstrating that this factor interacts with sequences common to both the adenovirus and SV40 enhancers.
