Abstract	The adenovirus gene regulatory program occurs in two distinct phases, as defined by the onset of DNA replication. During the early phase, the E1A, E1B, E2, E3, and E4 genes are maximally expressed, while the major late promoter (MLP) is minimally expressed and transcription is attenuated. After the onset of DNA replication, the IVa2 and pIX genes are expressed at high levels, transcription from the MLP is unattenuated and fully activated, and early gene expression is repressed. Although the cis elements and trans-acting factors responsible for the late-phase activation of the MLP have been identified and characterized and the role of DNA replication in activation has been established, the mechanism(s) underlying the commensurate decrease in early gene expression has yet to be elucidated. The results of this study demonstrate that this decrease depends on a fully functional MLP. Specifically, virus mutants with severely deficient transcription from the MLP exhibit a marked increase in expression of the E1A, E1B, and E2 early genes. These increases were observed at the level of transcription initiation, mRNA accumulation, and protein production. In addition, expression from the late gene pIX, which is not contained within the major late transcription unit (MLTU), is also markedly increased. To begin the analysis of the mechanisms underlying these late-phase effects, mixed-infection experiments with mutant and wild-type viruses were performed. The results show that the effects on early gene expression, as measured both at the protein and RNA levels, are mediated in trans and not in cis. These observations are consistent either with a model in which one or more late protein products encoded by the MLTU acts as a repressor of early gene expression or with one in which the wild-type MLP competes with early promoters for limiting transcription factors.
