The true late genes of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are expressed only after the onset of viral DNA replication. Previous studies demonstrated that late promoters lack elements upstream of the TATA box and suggested that only a subset of TATA elements can function in the context of true late promoters. We determined which structural features of true late promoters are responsible for the stringent requirement for viral DNA replication by inserting a series of simple model constructs into the HSV-1 genome in place of one of the two promoters of the UL24 gene. An oligonucleotide consisting of 19 nucleotides spanning the TATA box of the HSV-1 true late US11 gene drove barely detectable levels of expression; by contrast, the corresponding regions of the Adenovirus type 2 major late promoter and the HSV-1 true late glycoprotein C promoter were much more active. Transcripts driven from all of these minimal TATA box promoters accumulated without viral DNA replication. The activity of the US11 TATA box was stimulated by adding upstream Sp1-binding sites or placing the US11 or rabbit beta-globin cap/leader region (-11 to +39) downstream. The Sp1-TATA and TATA-beta-globin cap/leader constructs remained replication independent, while the TATA-US11 cap/leader promoter displayed true late regulation. These results demonstrate that sequences located within the US11 cap/leader region impose a strict requirement for viral DNA replication on a minimal TATA box promoter.
