ABSTRACT The large Rep proteins, p68 and p78, function as master controllers of the adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) life cycle, involved in transcriptional control, in latency, in rescue, and in viral DNA replication. The p5 promoter may be the nucleic acid complement to the large Rep proteins. It drives expression of the large Rep proteins, it undergoes autoregulation by Rep, it undergoes induction by helper virus, it is a target substrate for Rep-mediated site-specific integration (RMSSI), and it can function as a replicative origin. To better understand the relationship between each of the p5 functions, we have determined the effects of p5 promoter mutations (p5 integration efficiency element, or p5IEE) on transcription, integration, and replication using RMSSI transfection protocols in HeLa cells. The data demonstrate that the organization of the p5 promoter provides a unique platform for regulated AAV2 template transcription and subsequent repression by Rep through direct and indirect mechanisms. The elements of the p5IEE that define its function as a promoter also define its function as a highly optimized substrate for Rep-mediated site-specific integration and replication. The p5 Rep binding element (RBE) is essential in RMSSI and Rep-dependent replication; however, replacement of the p5 RBE with either the AAV2 inverted terminal repeat or the AAVS1 RBE sequence elements neither enhances nor severely compromises RMSSI activity of p5IEE. The RBE by itself or in combination with the YY1+1 initiator/terminal resolution sequence element does not mediate efficient site-specific integration. We found that replication and integration were highly sensitive to sequence manipulations of the p5 TATA/RBE/YY1+1 core structure in a manner that reflects the function of these elements in transcription. The data presented support a model where, depending on the state of the cell (Rep expression and helper virus influences), the p5IEE operates as a transcription/integration switch sequence element.

ABSTRACT Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) preferentially integrates its genome into the AAVS1 locus on human chromosome 19. Preferential integration requires the AAV2 Rep68 or Rep78 protein (Rep68/78), a Rep68/78 binding site (RBS), and a nicking site within AAVS1 and may also require an RBS within the virus genome. To obtain further information that might help to elucidate the mechanism and preferred substrate configurations of preferential integration, we amplified junctions between AAV2 DNA and AAVS1 from AAV2-infected HeLaJW cells and cells with defective Artemis or xeroderma pigmentosum group A genes. We sequenced 61 distinct junctions. The integration junction sequences show the three classical types of nonhomologous-end-joining joints: microhomology at junctions (57%), insertion of sequences that are not normally contiguous with either the AAV2 or the AAVS1 sequences at the junction (31%), and direct joining (11%). These junctions were spread over 750 bases and were all downstream of the Rep68/78 nicking site within AAVS1. Two-thirds of the junctions map to 350 bases of AAVS1 that are rich in polypyrimidine tracts on the nicked strand. The majority of AAV2 breakpoints were within the inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences, which contain RBSs. We never detected a complete ITR at a junction. Residual ITRs at junctions never contained more than one RBS, suggesting that the hairpin form, rather than the linear ITR, is the more frequent integration substrate. Our data are consistent with a model in which a cellular protein other than Artemis cleaves AAV2 hairpins to produce free ends for integration.

High-throughput integration site (IS) analysis of wild-type adeno-associated virus type 2 (wtAAV2) in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and HeLa cells revealed that juxtaposition of a Rep binding site (RBS) and terminal resolution site (trs)-like motif leads to a 4-fold-increased probability of wtAAV integration. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) confirmed binding of Rep to off-target RBSs. For the first time, we show Rep protein off-target nicking activity, highlighting the importance of the nicking substrate for Rep-mediated integration.
