Nuclear factor I can functionally replace transcription factor Sp1 in a U2 small nuclear RNA gene enhancer
Abstract
Polymerase II transcription of a human gene for the small nuclear RNA U2 is dependent on two different promoter elements: a TATA-equivalent proximal sequence element and a distal enhancer element, which has been shown to contain Sp1- and octamer-binding sites. We have investigated the functional interplay between these transcription factor-binding sites of the enhancer, following transfection of U2 maxigene constructions into HeLa cells. There is a functional non-additive co-operation between the octamer-binding factor and Sp1, which is not dependent on the evolutionally conserved steric arrangement of these binding sites. We demonstrate that the conserved Sp1-binding site of the U2 enhancer can be fully substituted by a nuclear factor I (NFI) binding site, and that the octamer-binding factor functions in stimulating transcription in conjunction with either Sp1 or NFI. Since the octamer-binding factor is most probably the same protein as nuclear factor III (NFIII), the results imply that the NFI/NFIII complex, involved in adenovirus DNA replication, also can function as an efficient activator of transcription.
