Footprinting analysis of the human apoCIII promoter identified a set of four proximal (A-D) and six distal (E-J) regulatory elements between nucleotides -792 and -25 [Ogami, K., et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 9808-9815]. The distal regulatory elements of the apoCIII gene increase by 10-fold the strength of the homologous as well as of heterologous proximal promoters. Required for such transcriptional enhancement is the presence of an intact hormone response element (HRE) on the proximal promoter which binds a variety of nuclear hormone receptors. To understand the mechanism of this transcriptional activation, we identified the nature and the importance of the factors which bind to the upstream regulatory elements of the apoCIII promoter by DNA binding, competition, supershift, and transient transfection assays. These analyses showed that the upstream apoCIII promoter contains multiple binding sites for the ubiquitous transcription factor SP1, which recognizes the regulatory elements F, H, and I. The regulatory element G represents a specialized HRE which is recognized by the orphan receptors ARP-1 and EAR-3 but not by HNF-4. A single activity designated CIII J1 binds to the regulatory element J. The same or a similar activity binds as a minor component to the regulatory elements F and I where SP1 is the predominant binding activity. Finally, a minor activity designated CIII 15 binds to the regulatory element I.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
