The nuclear matrix is thought to play an important role in the DNA replication of eukaryotic cells, although direct evidence for such a role is still lacking. A nuclear matrix-associated transcription factor, polyomavirus (Py) enhancer binding protein 2alphaB1 (PEBP2alphaB1) (AML1/Cbfa2), was found to stimulate Py replication through its cognate binding site. The minimal replication activation domain (RAD) was identified between amino acid (aa) 302 and aa 371 by using a fusion protein containing the GAL4 DNA binding domain (GAL4-RAD). In addition, the region showed affinity for the nuclear matrix and, on the basis of competition studies, binding activity for one or more proteins involved in the initiation of Py DNA replication. A leukemogenic chimeric protein, AML1/ETO(MTG8), which does not contain this region of PEBP2alphaB1/AML1, was also localized in the nuclear matrix fraction and competed for nuclear matrix association with PEBP2alphaB1 and GAL4-RAD. Moreover, AML1/ETO inhibited Py DNA replication stimulated by PEBP2alphaB1 and GAL4-RAD. The inhibition was specific for replication mediated by PEBP2alphaB1 and GAL4-RAD, and proportional to the degree of loss of these activators from the nuclear matrix, suggesting a requirement for nuclear matrix targeting in the stimulation of Py DNA replication by RAD. These results are the first to suggest a molecular link between the initiation of DNA replication and the nuclear matrix compartment.
