摘要
Recent studies have indicated that two elements in addition to the glucocorticoid response element (GRE) are involved in the induction of the endogenous TAT gene in Fu5-5 rat hepatoma cells. The first is the 21 bp glucocorticoid modulatory element (GME) at -3648 bp, which causes reporter constructs to display both a left shift in the dose-response curve for glucocorticoids and increased percentages of agonist activity for antiglucocorticoids. The second is a negative element at -3340 to -3050 that blocks the action of the GME. This last observation raised the question of how GME activity can be expressed in Fu5-5 cells in the intact TAT gene that contains both the GME and the negative element. The present study identifies a third element, a "neutralizing" sequence, that restores the activity of the GME even when otherwise inactivated by the negative element. This neutralizing sequence was located within the region surrounding the GREs of the TAT gene but is separate from the GREs. The activity of the individual GME and negative elements was found to depend upon spacing. However, in combination with the natural GRE, the native TAT gene spacing of the GME and negative elements was able to reproduce the activity of the intact gene. Thus, a total of three additional elements (an activator, a negative element, and a neutralizer) appear to cooperate with the GREs in glucocorticoid induction of the TAT gene in Fu5-5 cells. While such a grouping of elements may be novel among steroid regulated genes, it is a not uncommon occurrence for the transcriptional control of other genes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
