We have dissected the mouse H-2Kb gene promoter in order to define the sequences responsible for induction by tumour necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). An enhancer element (-187 to -158) composed of two imperfect direct palindromic repeats has been shown to be necessary and sufficient for TNF-alpha induction of a heterologous promoter. A multimer of either repeat is also responsive, while a single copy is not: this is the situation in the beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) promoter which contains a single palindrome and does not respond to TNF-alpha. We had previously found that the two repeats can bind a factor named KBF1. We show here that in the uninduced state the transcription factor AP2 binds to the interpalindromic region, while in TNF-treated cells an NF kappa B-like activity is induced which displaces both KBF1 and AP2 and binds to the two palindromes. This strongly suggests that induction of an NF kappa B-like activity is responsible for TNF-alpha stimulation of mouse MHC class I genes.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).
