Abstract |
The transcription factor specificity protein 1 (Sp1) binds to GC boxes and interacts with many transcription factors to regulate gene expression. Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is an orphan nuclear receptor and plays a major role in regulation of the human steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) gene. We demonstrated that there is interaction between SF-1 and Sp1 on the human StAR promoter. In the present study, we examined the mechanism of the interaction between Sp1 and SF-1 on the human StAR gene promoter. Results of glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays and a mammalian two-hybrid assay showed that SF-1 interacted with Sp1 through the N-terminal domains of Sp1. Results of electrophoretic mobility shift assays using nuclear extracts showed that Sp1 is associated with SF-1-DNA complex formation. The density of SF-1-DNA complex was much greater when recombinant Sp1 was added to the incubation mixture. These results suggest that Sp1 interacts with SF-1 and that Sp1 enhances SF-1-DNA complex formation to regulate human StAR transcription. |
