A growth hormone (GH)-inducible nuclear factor (GHINF) from rat liver has been purified to near homogeneity. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and UV-cross-linking, a major band of mass approximately 93 kDa and a minor band of approximately 70 kDa are detected in the purified fraction. DNase I footprinting using purified GHINF yields a protected region of -149/-115 on the rat serine protease inhibitor 2.1 (Spi 2.1) promoter encompassed within the growth hormone response element (GHRE). Mutational analysis demonstrated that GHINF binds synergistically to two gamma-interferon-activated sites (GAS) within the GHRE, with the 3' element being the pivotal binding domain. Functional assays show that both GAS elements are necessary for full GH response. GHINF has no immunoreactivity with either a C-terminal Stat1 antibody or an N-terminal Stat3 antibody, while cross-reacting with a C-terminal Stat5 monoclonal antibody. GHINF will bind to two GAS elements from the Stat5 binding region of the beta-casein gene. These studies indicate that GHINF is a Stat5-related factor binding synergistically to two GAS elements to activate Spi 2.1 transcription.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.
