title: Sequence-specific binding of HMG-I(Y) to the proximal promoter of the gp91-phox gene.
abstract: Screening of a cDNA expression library with a CCAAT-box element derived from the myelomonocyte-specific gp91-phox promoter resulted in the isolation of three independent HMG-I(Y) cDNA clones. Filter binding competition studies reveal that HMG-Y binds to this promoter element in a sequence-specific manner and exhibits a gradient of binding affinities for various A/T-rich sequences. Two adjacent A/T-rich regions within the gp91-phox promoter CCAAT-box element are required for maximal binding. In addition, competition experiments demonstrate that the binding affinity of HMG-Y is influenced by sequences that flank A/T-rich core binding sites.
