The plasmid construct pSVO-CAT has been used to test adenovirus promoter activities in the unmethylated or methylated state. We have now observed that the E2A late promoter of adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) DNA also activated the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene upon transfection of the pAd2E2A-CAT construct into mammalian cells, and it was inactivated by specific methylations of three 5' -CCGG- 3' sites. Similar results had been reported previously after microinjecting promoter-methylated constructs into oocytes of Xenopus laevis. Surprisingly, it was found that the pSVO-CAT construct, which lacked eukaryotic promoter sequences, was able to express the CAT gene upon transfection into human or hamster cells that harbored and constitutively expressed the E1 region of Ad2 or Ad5 DNA. In these cells, the expression of the pAd2E2A-CAT construct was enhanced, but it was only partly sensitive to DNA methylation, possibly because DNA methylation was counteracted directly or indirectly by E1 functions. The pSVO-CAT construct was also expressed in HeLa or BHK21 cells upon cotransfection with a plasmid carrying the HindIII-G fragment of Ad2 DNA that contained the E1A region and part of the E1B region. By mapping pSVO-CAT-specific RNAs, we could demonstrate that pSVO-CAT activity in Ad2- or Ad5-transformed cells was mediated by prokaryotic promoter-like sequences in the pBR322 section of the construct, and it presumably functioned via trans-activation mediated by the E1 region. This trans-activation of pSVO-CAT in adenovirus-transformed cells was partly insensitive to DNA methylation.
