Identification of androgen-selective androgen-response elements in the human aquaporin-5 and Rad9 genes

Abstract

The AR (androgen receptor) is known to influence the expression of its target genes by binding to different sets of AREs (androgen-response elements) in the DNA. One set consists of the classical steroid-response elements which are partial palindromic repeats of the 5'-TGTTCT-3' steroid-receptor monomer-binding element. The second set contains motifs that are AR-specific and that are proposed to be partial direct repeats of the same motif. On the basis of this assumption, we used an in silico approach to identify new androgen-selective AREs in the regulatory regions of known androgen-responsive genes. We have used an extension of the NUBIScan algorithm to screen a collection of 85 known human androgen-responsive genes compiled from literature and database searches. We report the evaluation of the most promising hits resulting from this computational search by in vitro DNA-binding assays using full-size ARs and GRs (glucocorticoid receptors) as well as their isolated DBDs (DNA-binding domains). We also describe the ability of some of these motifs to confer androgen-, but not glucocorticoid-, responsiveness to reporter-gene expression. The elements found in the aquaporin-5 and the Rad9 (radiation-sensitive 9) genes showed selecti...Continue Reading
