The adenovirus major late transcription unit (MLTU) encodes five families of mRNAs, L1 to L5, each distinguished by a unique poly(A) site. Use of the promoter-proximal L1 poly(A) site predominates during early infection, whereas poly(A) site choice shifts to the promoter-distal sites during late infection. A mini-MLTU containing only the L1 and L3 poly(A) sites has been shown to reproduce this processing switch. In vivo analysis has revealed that sequences extending 5' and 3' of the L1 core poly(A) site are required for efficient processing as well as for regulated expression. By replacement of the L1 core poly(A) site with that of the ground squirrel hepatitis virus poly(A) site, we now demonstrate that the L1 flanking sequences can enhance the processing of a heterologous poly(A). Upon recombination of the chimeric L1-ground squirrel hepatitis virus poly(A) site onto the viral chromosome, the L1 flanking sequences were also found to be sufficient to reproduce the processing switch during the course of viral infection. Subsequent in vitro analysis has shown that the L1 flanking sequences function to enhance the stability of binding of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor to the core poly(A) site. The impact of L1 flanking sequences on the binding of cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor suggests that the regulation of the MLTU poly(A) site selection is mediated by the interaction of constitutive processing factors.
