Abstract

The invention provides compositions of a non-adenoviral vector containing a polynucleotide sequence encoding adenoviral pTP operationally linked domain. The invention also provides compositions of an adenoviral pTP binding domain. The invention also provides methods for increasing the expression of a polynucleotide by expressing the polynucleotide in a non-adenoviral vector containing an adenoviral pTP binding domain in the presence of adenoviral pTP. The invention additionally provides methods to increase expression of a heterologous polynucleotide in an individual by obtaining cells from the individual, genetically altering the cells to express a non-adenoviral vector containing an adenoviral pTP binding domain and a gene encoding pTP and readministering the genetically altered cells to the individual.
