The herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate-early protein ICP27 has been postulated to play an auxillary role in HSV. gene expression, augmenting or inhibiting the activation of different viral promoters by the other immediate-early proteins ICPO and ICP4. Here we show that ICP27 alone can up-regulate gene expression of a retroviral vector containing Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMuLV) regulatory sequences. This is the first report of an effect of ICP27 on gene expression driven by heterologous virus regulatory sequences. The effect does not involve the region of ICP27 which inhibits gene activation of HSV early gene promoters by ICPO and ICP4, but rather is dependent on the same region of ICP27 as is required to augment the activation of HSV late gene promoters by ICPO and ICP4. This indicates that the two activation effects are likely to operate via the same mechanism. Activation by ICP27 is dependent on the 3' LTR and adjacent region of MoMuLV but is independent of the promoter in the 5' LTR which can be replaced by a heterologous promoter such as that of SV40 without affecting activation by ICP27. The significance of this effect for an understanding of the mechanism of action of ICP27 and its role in regulating the gene expression of HSV and potentially of other viruses is discussed.

D008979 Moloney murine leukemia virus A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) arising during the propagation of S37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters. It is apparently transmitted to embryos in utero and to newborns through mother's milk.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
