Effect of the human cytomegalovirus IE86 protein on expression of E2F-responsive genes: a DNA microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT: We have previously reported that the immediate early (IE)-86 protein of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pushes the cell cycle toward S phase but inhibits cell division [Murphy, E. A., Streblow, D. N., Nelson, J. A. & Stinski, M. F. (2000) J. Virol. 74, 7108-7118]. We determined the cellular genes activated by the IE86 protein in permissive human fibroblast cells. A 4-fold or greater increase in the steady-state RNA from many cellular genes that regulate the cell cycle, the enzymes for DNA precursor synthesis, and the initiation of cellular DNA replication was detected by high-density DNA microarray analysis. Northern blot analysis confirmed the DNA microarray data. The viral IE86 protein induced a significant increase in the cellular steady-state RNA level from the B-myb, cyclin E, cdk-2, E2F
