Abstract:
:Modulation of gene expression by steroid hormones is mediated by receptor proteins that associate with regulatory elements of responsive genes upon binding the hormone ligand. The finding that two glucocorticoid responsive elements act cooperatively to stimulate transcription of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene prompted us to explore whether synergistic effects also occur when two different steroid hormone receptors are involved. A region of the chicken vitellogenin II gene that displays homologies to glucocorticoid and estradiol responsive elements was tested for its capability to confer estradiol and glucocorticoid inducibility to a heterologous promoter. When positioned immediately upstream of the thymidine kinase gene promoter, this element enhances expression by either steroid. Combination of both hormones results in a synergistic increase of transcription. Mutational analysis shows that sequences that show similarities of glucocorticoid and estradiol responsive elements are absolutely required for hormone induction. Analysis of the dose dependence of induction by both steroids demonstrates that half-maximal activity is observed at lower hormone concentrations when the other steroid is present in saturating amounts, which suggests that the synergistic induction observed with the combination of hormones is based on a functional interaction of the two hormone receptors.
