RESUMO
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter-driven transcription is induced by glucocorticoid hormone via binding of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The MMTV promoter also harbors a binding site for nuclear factor 1 (NF1). NF1 and GR were expressed in Xenopus oocytes; this revealed GR-NF1 cooperativity both in terms of DNA binding and chromatin remodeling but not transcription. A fraction of NF1 sites were occupied in a hormone-dependent fashion, but a significant and NF1 concentration-dependent fraction were constitutively bound. Activation of the MMTV promoter resulted in an ∼50-fold increase in the NF1 accessibility for its DNA site. The hormone-dependent component of NF1 binding was dissociated by addition of a GR antagonist; however, the antagonist RU486, which supports partial GR-DNA binding, also maintained partial NF1 binding. Hence GR-NF1 cooperativity is independent of agonist-driven chromatin remodeling. NF1 induced the formation of a micrococcal-nuclease-resistant protein-DNA complex containing the DNA segment from −185 to −55, the MMTV enhanceosome. Coexpression of NF1 and Oct1 resulted in a significant stimulation of hormone-induced MMTV transcription and also in increased basal transcription. We propose that hormone-independent NF1 binding may be involved in maintaining transcriptional competence and establishment of tissue-specific gene networks.
