The regulatory effects of pUL48 on ICP4 and ICP22 promoters containing different components. (A) Initial upstream cis-element sequence analysis of ICP4 and ICP22. Different colored squares represent different possible sequences of cis-elements. (B) The regulation of pUL48 on ICP4 promoter containing different elements. (C) The regulation of pUL48 on ICP22 promoter containing different elements. ICP4-Pro (740 bp)-Luc, ICP4-Pro (900 bp)-Luc, ICP4-Pro (1,226 bp)-Luc, ICP4-Pro (1,235 bp)-Luc, ICP22-Pro (300 bp)-Luc, ICP22-Pro (400 bp)-Luc, ICP22-Pro (900 bp)-Luc, pCAGGS, pCAGGS-pUL48-HA, and pRL-TK were cotransfected into DEF. At 24 h after transfection, cell samples were collected, and the activity of each promoter was detected by the dual-luciferase reporting system. pCAGGS-pUL48-HA was transfected into DEF. At 24 h after transfection, cell protein samples were collected for Western blot analysis. Student’s t-test was used to analyze the differences of the two groups. NS was not significant, ****p < 0.0001.
