RESUMO
Within steroid receptor heterocomplexes the large tetratricopeptide repeat-containing immunophilins, cyclophilin 40 (CyP40), FKBP51, and FKBP52, target a common interaction site in heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and act coordinately with Hsp90 to modulate receptor activity. The reversible nature of the interaction between the immunophilins and Hsp90 suggests that relative cellular abundance might be a key determinant of the immunophilin component within steroid receptor complexes. To investigate CyP40 gene regulation, we have isolated a 5-kilobase (kb) 5′-flanking region of the human gene and demonstrated that a ∼50 base pair (bp) sequence adjacent to the transcription start site is essential for CyP40 basal expression. Three tandemly arranged Ets sites within this critical region were identified as binding elements for the multimeric Ets-related transcription factor, GA binding protein (GABP). Functional studies of this proximal promoter sequence, in combination with mutational analysis, confirmed these sites to be crucial for basal promoter function. Furthermore, overexpression of both GABPα and GABPβ subunits in Cos1 cells resulted in increased endogenous CyP40 mRNA levels. Significantly, a parallel increase in FKBP52 mRNA expression was not observed, highlighting an important difference in the mode of regulation of the CyP40 and FKBP52 genes. Our results identify GABP as a key regulator of CyP40 expression. GABP is a common target of mitogen and stress-activated pathways and may integrate these diverse extracellular signals to regulate CyP40 gene expression.
