Transcriptional up-regulation of the mouse cytosolic glutathione peroxidase gene in erythroid cells is due to a tissue-specific 3' enhancer containing functionally important CACC/GT motifs and binding sites for GATA and Ets transcription factors.

Abstract

Nuclear run-on experiments have shown that the high level of expression of the mouse cytosolic glutathione peroxidase mRNA in erythroid cells is due to up-regulation of the gene at the transcriptional level. Studies of the chromatin structure around the cytosolic glutathione peroxidase gene have revealed a series of DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSS) in the 3' flanking region of the gene in erythroid and other high-expression tissues that are lacking in low-expression cells, in addition to a DHSS over the promoter region in both high- and low-expression tissues. Functional transfection experiments have demonstrated that one of the 3' DHSS regions functions as an enhancer in erythroid cells but not in a low-expression epithelial cell line; and site-directed mutagenesis and footprinting experiments reveal that the activity of the erythroid cell-specific enhancer requires a cluster of binding sites for the CACC/GT box factors and the GATA and Ets families of transcription factors.
