Analysis of nucleotides 13-96 of the human parainfluenza virus type 3 antigenomic promoter reveals positive- and negative-acting replication elements.


ABSTRACT: During replication of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3), the 96-nucleotide antigenomic promoter (AGP) of HPIV3 directs the synthesis of genomic RNA. Previous work showed that nucleotides 1-12 were critical in promoting replication of an HPIV3 minireplicon, but nucleotides 13-96 were not investigated. In this study, the role of nucleotides 13-96 in AGP function was analyzed by creating and assaying mutations in an HPIV3 minireplicon. A replication promoting element known as promoter element II (nt 79-96) was confirmed in the HPIV3 AGP. Additionally, nucleotides 13-39 were found to constitute an additional positive-acting cis-element. However, detailed analysis of the 13-39 element revealed a complicated control element with both stimulatory and repressing elements. Specifically, nucleotides 21-28 were shown to repress RNA replication, while flanking sequences had a stimulatory effect.
