The Adenovirus (Ad) early gene product 13S transactivates the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) promoter in inflammatory cells. We examined both the subdomains of E1A and the upstream TNF promoter elements involved. In both Jurkat and U-937 cells, zinc finger or carboxyl region mutation of Ad E1A 13S CR3 resulted in a significant loss of transactivation of the TNF promoter (>=69%). For both cell types there was a TNF negative regulatory element in the -242 to -199 region, and a positive regulatory element between -199 and -118. In contrast an upstream positive regulatory element was detected in different regions in both cell types. In U-937 cells the positive regulatory unit was between -600 and -576, while in Jurkat cells it was between -576 and -242. The U937 upstream element was dependent on a site previously designated Epsilon ({epsilon}) in cooperation with an adjacent NF-{kappa}B-2a site. Therefore, transactivation of the TNF promoter by adenovirus 13S in lymphocyte and monocyte cell types involves similar subdomains of the E1A protein, but cell-specific TNF promoter elements.
