| Summary |
Herpesvirus late promoters activate gene expression after viral DNA synthesis has begun. Alphaherpesviruses utilize a viral immediate-early protein to do this, whereas beta- and gammaherpesviruses primarily use a 6-member set of viral late-acting transcription factors (LTF) that are drawn to a TATT sequence in the late promoter. The betaherpesvirus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), produces three immediate-early 2 protein isoforms, IE2-86, IE2-60, IE2-40, in late infection, but whether they activate late viral promoters is unknown. Here, we quickly degrade the IE2 proteins in late infection and analyze effects on transcription using customized PRO-Seq and computational methods combined with multiple validation methods. We discover that the IE2 proteins selectively drive RNA Pol II transcription initiation at a subset of viral early-late and late promoters common to different HCMV strains, but do not substantially affect Pol II transcription of the 9,942 expressed host genes. Most of the IE2-activated viral late infection promoters lack the TATT sequence bound by the HCMV UL87-encoded LTF. The HCMV TATT-binding protein is not mechanistically involved in late RNA expression from the IE2-activated TATT-less UL83 (pp65) promoter, as it is for the TATT-containing UL82 (pp71) promoter. While antecedent viral DNA synthesis is necessary for transcription from the late infection viral promoters, continued viral DNA synthesis is unnecessary. We conclude that the IE2 proteins target a distinct subset of late infection HCMV promoters for transcription initiation by RNA Pol II. Commencement of viral DNA replication renders the HCMV genome late promoters susceptible to late-acting viral transcription factors, which do not appreciably affect host transcription during this late time.

| Overall design |
In this study, we assessed the effects of IE2 depletion late in HCMV infection. We analyzed 19 PRO-Seq datasets from HFF that were infected with HCMV strains Towne or TB40. We show that the effects of IE2 depletion on viral gene transcription are reproduced in the context of infection with different HCMV strains. Replicate analyses of the effects of IE2 depletion in the context fo TB40 infection were performed. This series includes re-analysis of GSM3104912, an uninfected HFF PRO-seq sample. The re-analyzed processed data .bw files are available at the foot of this record.
