Abstract

A 161-base pair fragment (AB1) approximately 10 kilobase pairs upstream of the transcription start site of the mouse heme oxygenase-1 gene functions as a basal level and inducer-dependent enhancer. AB1/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion genes stably transfected into mouse hepatoma (Hepa) cells or L929 fibroblasts were activated 7-8- or 17-22-fold, respectively, after treatment of the cells with either CdCl2 or heme. The AB1 fragment is composed largely of three tandem repeats containing two conserved core elements, A and B. Part of core element A (TCCGGAGCTGTG) resembles the consensus-binding site for transcription factor AP-4, whereas core element B (GCTGAGTCANGG) includes the consensus-binding site (TGAGTCA) for the AP-1 family of transcription factors. Nuclear proteins from Hepa cells did not bind to any of the core A elements, but bound to all three copies of the core B element. AB1 derivatives with one or two mutant AP-1-binding elements exhibited reduced but measurable inducer-dependent enhancer activity, but mutation of all three AP-1-binding sites abolished activation by CdCl2 and heme and also by mercury chloride, zinc chloride, H2O2, sodium arsenate, and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Pretreatment of stab...Continue Reading
