Abstract

Neuronally enriched RGS4 plays a critical role attenuating G protein signaling in brain, although the mechanisms regulating RGS4 expression are unknown. Here we describe a novel mechanism for transcriptional activation of RGS4 in neuron-like PC6 cells, where RGS4 is markedly induced during confluence-induced growth arrest. Transcriptional activation of RGS4 in confluent PC6 cells was accompanied by impaired G(i/o)-dependent MAPK activation. In the human RGS4 gene promoter, we identified three phylogenetically conserved cis-elements: an inverted CCAAT box element (ICE), a cAMP response element, and a B-cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6)-binding site. The ICE and the cAMP response element mediate activation, and the Bcl6 site mediates repression of RGS4 transcription. Activation of RGS4 transcription in confluent PC6 cells is accompanied by increases in NF-YA and C/EBPβ and decreases in Bcl6 levels in the nucleus. Increases in NF-YA and C/EBPβ lead to their increased binding to the RGS4 promoter in vivo, and dominant negative forms of these proteins repressed RGS4 promoter activity. Acetylation of NF-YA and Bcl6 were increased in postconfluent cells. Trichostatin A stimulation of RGS4 promoter activity, accompanied by increased binding of NF...Continue Reading
