Transcriptional activation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) long terminal repeat (LTR) by viral protein p40x requires a 21-base-pair (bp) sequence which is repeated three times within the LTR. This sequence contains a core octanucleotide (TGACGTCT) which has been attributed to be a cyclic-AMP (cAMP)-responsive element. We demonstrate here that the HTLV-I LTR can be specifically stimulated by cAMP regulators and have identified four proteins in HeLa cells that bind to the HTLV-I 21-bp sequence. We correlated the in vitro binding and transcriptional activity of one of these cellular factors (Mr, 180,000) to the trans-activation of the HTLV-I LTR by p40x. Point mutations were generated within the cAMP octanucleotide of the HTLV-I 21-bp sequence that simultaneously abolished biological responsiveness to trans-activation by p40x and to stimulation by cAMP. We found that these mutations also eliminated the binding of the 180-kilodalton HeLa factor to the HTLV-I 21-bp element. In the absence of a demonstrable DNA-binding property for p40x, we hypothesize that cellular proteins are involved, possibly through signal transduction pathways, in its trans-activation of responsive promoters.
