Abstract

The Krüppel-like family of transcription factors comprises genes that appear to have tissue-restricted functions. Expression of gut-enriched Krüppel-like factor (GKLF) may be important in the switch from proliferation to differentiation in the squamous epithelium. We sought to determine transcriptionally mediated effects of GKLF on two promoters active in the esophageal squamous epithelium, namely the Epstein-Barr virus ED-L2 and human keratin 4 promoters. Both promoters contain a CACCC-like motif previously shown to bind GKLF. To determine whether GKLF regulates genes containing this element, we first demonstrated expression and then cloned the full-length human GKLF from an esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line. In a transient transfection system, GKLF increased the activity of both promoters >25-fold, localized to regions containing the CACCC-like element. Recombinant GKLF specifically binds the CACCC-like motif in both promoters. GKLF epitope-tagged protein leads to the formation of two proteins of 65 and 34 kDa. The chromatographically purified 65-kDa protein binds the CACCC-like element from both Epstein-Barr virus ED-L2 and keratin 4 promoters, which is not attenuated by the 34-kDa protein. In summary, GKLF is expresse...Continue Reading
