Abstract
The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is an essential eukaryotic DNA replication factor that is transcriptionally regulated by the adenovirus oncoprotein E1A 243R. Inducibility of the human PCNA promoter by E1A 243R is conferred by the cis-acting PCNA E1A-responsive element (PERE), which associates with the ATF-1, cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), and RFX1 transcription factors and is modulated by cellular proteins such as the coactivator CREB-binding protein (CBP) and tumor suppressor p107 (Labrie, C., Lee, B. H., and Mathews, M. B. (1995) Nucleic Acids Res. 23, 3732-3741; Lee, B. H., and Mathews, M. B. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 4481-4486; Lee, B. H., Liu, M., and Mathews, M. B. (1998) J. Virol. 72, 1138-1145). RFX1 also forms a complex with sequences in the PCNA promoter of mouse and rat that share homology with the RFX1 consensus site. To explore the role of RFX1 in regulating the PCNA promoter, we examined the effects of mutations in the human PERE on RFX1 binding and gene expression. Mutations within the RFX1 consensus binding site reduced RFX1 binding, whereas mutations upstream of the site, or on its border, increased RFX1 binding. These mutations also affected the transcriptional activity of PCNA-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter constructs in transient expression assays. The relative transcriptional activity of mutant PCNA promoters, both in the presence and absence of E1A 243R, was inversely related to their ability to complex with RFX1. These findings suggest that the binding of RFX1 is influenced by sequences outside its consensus binding site and that this transcription factor plays an inhibitory role in the regulation of PCNA gene expression.
