We previously identified NEDD9 (RAINB2/HEF1/Cas-L) as a new downstream target of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) and its receptors in the human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y [R.A. Merrill, A.W.-M. See, M.L. Wertheim, M. Clagett-Dame, Dev. Dyn. 231 (2004) 564–575; R.A. Merrill, J.M. Ahrens, M.E. Kaiser, K.S. Federhart, V.Y. Poon, M. Clagett-Dame, Biol. Chem. 385 (2004) 605–614]. We now provide functional evidence that NEDD9 is directly regulated by atRA through a complex retinoic acid response element (RARE) located in the NEDD9 proximal promoter and consisting of four conserved half-sites separated by 1, 5, and 1 intervening base pairs. We show that a region of the human NEDD9 promoter from −1670 to +15 is sufficient to confer atRA-responsiveness and that a complex RARE located from −475 to −445 is necessary for this effect. While mutation of any one half-site does not eliminate complex formation in electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA); these same mutations, when tested in transient transfection assays, markedly decrease atRA-responsiveness. Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrate that RAR and RXR are bound to the RARE in cells.
