چکیده

We observed that binding sites for the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor CP2 were present in regulatory regions of multiple erythroid genes. In these regions, the CP2 binding site was adjacent to a site for the erythroid factor GATA-1. Using three such regulatory regions (from genes encoding the transcription factors GATA-1, EKLF, and p45 NF-E2), we demonstrated the functional importance of the adjacent CP2/GATA-1 sites. In particular, CP2 binds to the GATA-1 HS2 enhancer, generating a ternary complex with GATA-1 and DNA. Mutations in the CP2 consensus greatly impaired HS2 activity in transient transfection assays with K562 cells. Similar results were obtained by transfection of EKLF and p45 NF-E2 mutant constructs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with K562 cells showed that CP2 binds in vivo to all three regulatory elements and that both GATA-1 and CP2 were present on the same GATA-1 and EKLF regulatory elements. Adjacent CP2/GATA-1 sites may represent a novel module for erythroid expression of a number of genes. Additionally, coimmunoprecipitation and glutathione S-transferase pull-down experiments demonstrated a physical interaction between GATA-1 and CP2. This may contribute to the functional cooperation between these factors and provide an explanation for the important role of ubiquitous CP2 in the regulation of erythroid genes.

A palindromic regulatory site within vertebrate GATA-1 promoters requires both zinc fingers of the GATA-1 DNA-binding domain for high-affinity interaction.

GATA-1, a transcription factor essential for the development of the erythroid lineage, contains two adjacent highly conserved zinc finger motifs. The carboxy-terminal finger is necessary and sufficient for specific binding to the consensus GATA recognition sequence: mutant proteins containing only the amino-terminal finger do not bind. Here we identify a DNA sequence (GATApal) for which the GAT...

Self-association of the erythroid transcription factor GATA-1 mediated by its zinc finger domains.

GATA-1, the founding member of a distinctive family of transcription factors, is expressed predominantly in erythroid cells and participates in the expression of numerous erythroid cell-expressed genes. GATA-binding sites are found in the promoters and enhancers of globin and nonglobin erythroid genes as well as in the alpha- and beta-globin locus control regions. To elucidate how GATA-1 may fu...

Functional synergy and physical interactions of the erythroid transcription factor GATA-1 with the Krüppel family proteins Sp1 and EKLF.

An unresolved aspect of current understanding of erythroid cell-specific gene expression relates to how a limited number of transcriptional factors cooperate to direct high-level expression mediated by cis-regulatory elements separated over large distances within globin loci. In this report, we provide evidence that GATA-1, the major erythroid transcription factor, activates transcription in a ...

Simultaneous regulation of miR-451 and miR-191 led to erythroid fate decision of mouse embryonic stem cell

Objective(s): Various microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed during development of mammalian cells, when they aid in modulating gene expression by mediating mRNA transcript cleavage and/or regulation of translation rate. miR-191 and miR-451 have been shown to be critical regulators of hematopoiesis and have important roles in the induction of erythroid fate decision. So, the aim of this study is inve...

Activation of erythroid-specific promoters during anthracycline-induced differentiation of K562 cells.

Anthracycline antitumor drugs such as aclacinomycin (ACM) and doxorubicin (DOX) used in subtoxic concentrations induce erythroid differentiation of the erythroleukemic cell line K562. To elucidate the possible role of erythroid genes of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) and the transcription factor GATA-1 in this effect, the regulatory regions of the above genes and human epsilon- and gamma-gl...
