title: Functional analysis of the SIS proximal element and its activating factors: regulated transcription of the c-SIS/PDGF-B gene in human erythroleukemia cells.
abstract: The SIS proximal element (SPE) is essential for the basal transcription of the c-sis/PDGF-B gene as well as the lineage-specific, activated transcription of this gene seen in megakaryocytes. In gel mobility shift analyses, the SPE element forms three gel-shift complexes; the t(op) and b(ottom) complexes were detected in nuclear extracts from both untreated and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate ('tetradecanoylphorbol acetate', TPA) treated K562 cells, whereas the m(iddle) complex was detected only in nuclear extracts from TPA-treated K562 cells. Site-directed mutagenesis of the SPE revealed a CCACCC motif that was essential for promoter activity as well as the formation of all three SPE gel-shift complexes. Nested-deletion analyses showed that the SPE was required for TPA-inducibility of c-sis/PDGF-B transcription. Antibody supershift analyses demonstrated that the t gel-shift complex contained both Sp1 and Sp3, and that the b complex contained only Sp3. In vitro transcription assays demonstrated that both Sp1 and Sp3 could support c-sis/PDGF-B transcription independent of each other in untreated K562 cells. However, overexpression of Sp1/Sp3 failed to significantly increase the c-sis/PDGF-B transcription in K562 cells.
