Yin-yang 1 activates the c-myc promoter.

Department of Biological Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles 90024.

ABSTRACT

Previous studies on the murine c-myc promoter demonstrated that a ubiquitously present protein, common factor 1 (CF1), bound at two sites located -260 and -390 bp from the P1 transcription start site. CF1 has been purified to near homogeneity and shown to be identical to the zinc finger protein Yin-yang 1 (YY1) as judged by similarity of molecular weight and other biochemical properties, immunological cross-reactivity, and the ability of recombinant YY1 to bind to CF1 sites. In cotransfection experiments, YY1 is a strong activator of transcription from c-myc promoter-based reporters. Furthermore, in murine erythroleukemia cells, overexpressed YY1 causes increased levels of c-myc mRNA initiated from both major transcription initiation sites of the endogenous c-myc gene.
