The structures of two remote glucocorticoid responsive units (GRUs) that cooperatively interact to promote cell-type specific glucocorticoid induction of rat tyrosine aminotransferase gene expression have been analyzed. DNAase I footprinting and gel mobility shift analyses reveal a complex array of contiguous and overlapping sites for cell type-specific DNA binding proteins. Apart from the glucocorticoid receptor, two liver-specific nuclear factors possess multiple binding sites in each of these GRUs: C/EBP and a newly identified liver-specific factor: HNF5. C/EBP possesses four binding sites in each GRU; a DNA-binding protein with similar binding specificity has been identified in fibroblasts; this protein could be related to AP-3. HNF5 possesses two binding sites in one GRU and four in the other. There are also HNF5 binding sites in numerous regulatory regions of other liver-specific genes. The interaction of HNF5 with DNA gives a characteristic DNAase I footprint with hypersensitive sites in the middle of the recognition sequence. Some of the C/EBP and HNF5 binding sites overlap in a conserved arrangement. 相似文献

Glucocorticoid induction of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene requires a glucocorticoid response unit (GRU) comprised of two non-consensus glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding sites, GR1 and GR2, and at least three accessory factor elements (gAF1-3). DNA-binding accessory proteins are commonly required for the regulation of genes whose products play an important role in metabolism, development, and a variety of defense responses, but little is known about why they are necessary. Quantitative, real time homogenous assays of cooperative protein-DNA interactions in complex media (e.g. nuclear extracts) have not previously been reported. Here we perform quantitative, real time equilibrium and stopped-flow fluorescence anisotropy measurements of protein-DNA interactions in nuclear extracts to demonstrate that GR binds to the GR1-GR2 elements poorly as compared with a palindromic or consensus glucocorticoid response element (GRE). Inclusion of either the gAF1 or gAF2 element with GR1-GR2, however, creates a high affinity binding environment for GR. GR can undergo multiple rounds of binding and dissociation to the palindromic GRE in less than 100 ms at nanomolar concentrations. The dissociation rate of GR is differentially slowed by the gAF1 or gAF2 elements that bind two functionally distinct accessory factors, COUP-TF/HNF4 and HNF3, respectively. 相似文献
