Received 15 October 1997/Accepted 5 December 1997

Gene activation by NF-kappa B/Rel transcription factors is modulated by synergistic or antagonistic interactions with other promoter-bound transcription factors. For example, Sp1 sites are often found in NF-kappa B-regulated genes, and Sp1 can activate certain promoters in synergism with NF-kappa B through nonoverlapping binding sites. Here we report that Sp1 acts directly through a subset of NF-kappa B binding sites. The DNA binding affinity of Sp1 to these NF-kappa B sites, as determined by their relative dissociation constants and their relative efficiencies as competitor DNAs or as binding site probes, is in the order of that for a consensus GC box Sp1 site. In contrast, NF-kappa B does not bind to a GC box Sp1 site. Sp1 can activate transcription through immunoglobulin kappa-chain enhancer or P-selectin promoter NF-kappa B sites. p50 homodimers replace Sp1 from the P-selectin promoter by binding site competition and thereby either inhibit basal Sp1-driven expression or, in concert with Bcl-3, stimulate expression. The interaction of Sp1 with NF-kappa B sites thus provides a means to keep an elevated basal expression of NF-kappa B-dependent genes in the absence of activated nuclear NF-kappa B/Rel.
