Regulation of the human ascorbate transporter SVCT2 exon 1b gene by zinc-finger transcription factors
چکیده انگلیسی
The sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter (SVCT) 2 is crucial for ascorbate uptake in metabolically active and specialized tissues. This study focused on the gene regulation of SVCT2 exon 1b, which is ubiquitously expressed in human and mouse tissues. Although the human SVCT2 exon 1b promoter does not contain a classical TATA box, we found that it does contain a functional initiator that binds Yin Yang-1 (YY1) and interacts with upstream Sp1/Sp3 elements in the proximal promoter region. These elements in turn play a critical role in regulating YY1-mediated transcription of exon 1b. Formation of YY1/Sp complexes on the promoter is required for its optional function. YY1 with Sp1 or Sp3 synergistically enhanced exon 1b promoter activity as well as the endogenous SVCT2 protein expression. Further, in addition to Sp1/Sp3, both EGR-1 and EGR-2 were detected in the protein complexes that bound the three GC boxes bearing overlapping binding sites for EGR/WT1 and Sp1/3. The EGR family factors WT1 and MAZ were found to differentially regulate exon 1b promoter activity. These results show that differential occupancy of transcription factors on the GC-rich consensus sequences in the SVCT2 exon 1b promoter contributes to the regulation of cell and tissue expression of SVCT2.
