Vaccinia virus gene expression is temporally
regulated, and three gene classes have been identified: early,
intermediate, and late. Several virus-encoded proteins and an activity
designated VLTF-X are required for maximum transcription in
vitro of a template containing a late promoter. VLTF-X is present
in both cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts prepared from uninfected
mammalian cells and co-purifies with a late promoter DNA-binding
activity. Here, extensive purification of VLTF-X has revealed that
heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins A2/B1 and RBM3 co-purified
with in vitro late transcription stimulation.
Overexpression and purification of these proteins from
Escherichia coli demonstrated that they both complemented
for VLTF-X activity in in vitro transcription reactions.
These studies identify two host cell factors potentially contributing
to poxvirus replication in vivo.
