We have recently shown that the adenovirus type 5 E4orf6 protein interacts with the cellular tumor suppressor protein p53 and blocks p53 transcriptional functions. Here we report that the E4orf6 protein can promote focus formation of primary rodent epithelial cells in cooperation with adenovirus E1A and E1A plus E1B proteins. The E4orf6 protein can also inhibit p53-mediated suppression of E1A plus E1B-19kDa-induced focus formation. Mutant analysis of the E4orf6 protein demonstrates that these activities correlate with the ability of the adenovirus protein to relieve transcriptional repression mediated by the carboxyl-terminal region of p53 in transient transfection assays. We further demonstrate that expression of wild-type E4orf6 correlates with a dramatic reduction of p53 steady-state levels in transformed rat cells. Our data demonstrate that adenovirus type 5 encodes two different proteins, E1B-55kDa and E4orf6, that bind to p53 and contribute to transformation by modulating p53 transcriptional functions.
