"The results of similar transfection assays showed that IE1 activated the wild-type A20 promoter by 32-fold but upregulated the NF-κB mutant version by only 6-fold, whereas IE2 did not significantly affect IE1 activity (Figure  xref C)."

"These results indicate that IE1 activates the A20 promoter through the NF-κB sites in reporter assays."

"Although A20 has been shown to be induced during HCMV entry, we also found that IE1 activates the A20 promoter through the upstream NF-κB sites."

"We also found that the viral IE1 protein activates the A20 promoter through the upstream NF-κB biding sites, suggesting a role of IE1 in the initial A20 activation."

sparser
"The direct activation of A20 promoter by IE1 is not surprising, since IE1 induces NF-κB activity and the A20 promoter contains two NF-κB binding sites."
