The genetic expression of human B19 parvovirus is only dependent on one promoter in vivo and in vitro. This is the P6 promoter, which is located on the left side of the genome and is a single-stranded DNA molecule. This led us to investigate the regulation of the P6 promoter and the possible resulting variability of the nucleotide sequence. After analysis of the promoter region of 17 B19 strains, only 1.5% variability was found. More exciting was the finding of mutations that were clustered around the TATA box and defined a highly conserved region (nucleotides 113-210) in the proximal part of the P6 promoter. HeLa and UT7/Epo cell extracts were found to protect this region, which contained a core motif for Ets family proteins, with YY1 and Sp1 binding sites on either side. Gel mobility shift assays performed with nuclear proteins from HeLa and UT7/Epo cells identified DNA-binding proteins specific for these sites. By supershift analysis, we demonstrated the binding of the hGABP (also named E4TF1) protein to the Ets binding site and the fixation of Sp1 and YY1 proteins on their respective motifs. In Drosophila SL2 cells, hGABPalpha and -beta stimulated P6 promoter activity, and hGABPalpha /hGABPbeta and Sp1 exerted synergistic stimulation of this activity, an effect diminished by YY1.
