In this study, we confirmed the putative interaction of 3b and RUNX1b and observed in vivo recruitment of 3b on the RUNX1 binding element on the IL2 promoter in transiently transfected human T, jurkat cells. We next determined the positive effect of 3b-RUNX1b interaction on the expression of RUNX1b regulated chemokine MIP-1a, reported to be upregulated in SARS-CoV infected monocyte derived dendritic cells. To investigate whether 3b-RUNX1b interaction leads to the recruitment of 3b on RUNX1 binding elements on the endogenous IL2 promoter, ChIP assays were performed in RUNX1b/CBFb endogenously expressing jurkat cells that are abortively infected by SARS-CoV. To investigate the effect of SARS-CoV 3b protein on the RUNX1b transcriptional activity, reporter gene assays were performed using the mouse IL2 promoter. ./cache/cord-323185-n0rubc72.txt ./txt/cord-323185-n0rubc72.txt
