The mammalian transcriptional coactivator HCF-1 is a critical component of the multiprotein herpes simplex virus immediate early gene enhancer core complex. The protein has also been implicated in basic cellular processes such as cell-cycle progression, transcriptional coactivation, and mRNA processing. Functions have been attributed to HCF-1 primarily from analyses of protein-protein interactions and from the cell-cycle-arrested phenotype of an HCF-1 temperature-sensitive mutant. However, neither the mechanisms involved nor specific cellular transcriptional targets have been identified. As the protein is essential for cell viability and proliferation, a genetic system was developed to specifically sequester the nuclear factor in the cell cytoplasm in a regulated manner. This approach exhibits no significant cell toxicity yet clearly demonstrates the requirement of available nuclear HCF-1 for herpes simplex virus immediate early gene expression during productive infection. Additionally, cellular transcriptional events were identified that contribute to understanding the functions ascribed to the protein and implicate the protein in events that impact the regulation of critical cellular processes.
