ABSTRACT The Rep proteins encoded by the adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) play a crucial role in the rescue, replication, and integration of the viral genome. In the absence of a helper virus, little expression of the AAV Rep proteins occurs, and the AAV genome fails to undergo DNA replication. Since previous studies have established that expression of the Rep78 and Rep68 proteins from the viral p5 promoter is controlled by the Rep-binding site (RBS) and the YY1 factor-binding site (YBS), we constructed a number of recombinant AAV plasmids containing mutations and/or deletions of the RBS and the YBS in the p5 promoter. These plasmids were transfected in HeLa or 293 cells and analyzed for the potential to undergo AAV DNA rescue and replication. Our studies revealed that (i) a low-level rescue and autonomous replication of the wild-type AAV genome occurred in 293 but not in HeLa cells; (ii) mutations in the RBS resulted in augmented expression from the p5 promoter, leading to more efficient rescue and/or replication of the AAV genome in 293 but not in HeLa cells; (iii) little rescue and/or replication occurred from plasmids containing mutations in the YBS alone in the absence of coinfection with adenovirus; (iv) expression of the adenovirus E1A gene products was insufficient to mediate rescue and/or replication of the AAV genome in HeLa cells; (v) autonomously replicated AAV genomes in 293 cells were successfully encapsidated in mature progeny virions that were biologically active in secondary infection of HeLa cells in the presence of adenovirus; and (vi) stable transfection of recombinant AAV plasmids containing a gene for resistance to neomycin significantly affected stable integration only in 293 cells, presumably because rescue and autonomous replication of the AAV genome from these plasmids occurred in 293 cells but not in HeLa or KB cells. These data suggest that in the absence of adenovirus, the AAV Rep protein-RBS interaction plays a dominant role in down-regulating viral gene expression from the p5 promoter and that perturbation in this interaction is sufficient to confer autonomous replication competence to AAV in 293 cells.

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.
