Identification and dissection of an enhancer controlling epithelial gene expression in skin.

Abstract:

:Keratins 14 and 5 are the structural hallmarks of the basal keratinocytes of the epidermis and outer root sheath (ORS) of the hair follicle. Their genes are controlled in a tissue-specific manner and thus serve as useful tools to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms involved in keratinocyte-specific transcription. Previously we identified several keratinocyte-specific DNase I hypersensitive sites (HSs) in the 5' regulatory sequences of the K14 gene and showed that a 700-bp regulatory domain encompassing HSs II and III can confer epidermal and ORS-specific gene expression in transgenic mice in vivo. Although HS II harbored much of the transactivation activity in vitro, it was not sufficient to restrict expression to keratinocytes in vivo. We now explore the HS III regulatory element. Surprisingly, this element on its own confers gene expression to the keratinocytes of the inner root sheath (IRS) of the hair follicle, whereas a 275-bp DNA fragment containing both HSs II and III shifts the expression from the IRS to the basal keratinocytes and ORS in vivo. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays and mutational studies of HSs III reveal a role for CACCC-box binding proteins, Sp1 family members, and other factors adding to the list of previously described factors that are involved in keratinocyte-specific gene expression. These studies highlight a cooperative interaction of the two HSs domains and strengthen the importance of combinatorial play of transcription factors that govern keratinocyte-specific gene regulation.
