Identification of two factors required for transcription of the ovalbumin gene.

ABSTRACT

Two transcription factors, COUP and S300-II, were isolated and partially purified from HeLa cell nuclear extracts. Both factors are required for the efficient transcription in vitro of the ovalbumin gene but not the simian virus 40 early genes. COUP factor binds to the chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter (COUP) sequence which lies between -70 to -90 base pairs upstream from the cap site. A series of competition experiments with a band-shifting assay was carried out to determine the relative affinity of COUP box transcription factor for various promoters. We found that a promoter DNA fragment isolated from the ovalbumin gene competes better than those isolated from the ovomucoid, Y, and alpha-genes. In contrast, the the simian virus 40 early genes, the beta-globin gene, and the adenosine deaminase gene promoters do not compete well in this assay. The molecular weight of the COUP factor was estimated by S-300 column chromatography, glycerol gradient centrifugation to be 90,000. However, two bands were observed in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of cross-linked COUP factor to a 32P-labeled oligonucleotide containing the COUP sequence. The protein moieties of the major and minor bands were estimated to be 85,000 to 90,000 and 40,000 to 45,000, respectively. The S300-II factor with an apparent molecular weight of 45,000 in an S-300 column is required for function in an in vitro reconstituted transcription system. In contrast to the COUP factor, the S300-II factor does not have apparent specificity for binding to the ovalbumin gene promoter. The S300-II factor may function by interacting with RNA polymerase or other DNA-binding transcription factors.
