Activity of the carbamyl phosphate synthetase I promoter in liver nuclear extracts is dependent on a cis-acting C/EBP recognition element.

Abstract:

:We have identified an essential cis element in the proximal promoter region of the rat carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI) gene that is requisite for promoter activity in liver nuclear extracts. Excess synthetic oligonucleotides specifying this region abolished promoter-dependent in vitro transcription. We show that C/EBP, a nuclear factor enriched in liver but found as well in other tissues, such as gut, fat, and lung, interacts with an inverted repeat, GTTGCAAC, at the core of the essential cis element. In brain, a tissue that did not express CPSI or contain significant levels of C/EBP, a different factor was capable of binding at or near the C/EBP recognition element. Activity of the CPSI promoter in liver nuclear extracts was also dependent on sequences 5' to the C/EBP motif; presumably, factors binding to elements within this upstream region are instrumental in restricting CPSI gene expression to liver and intestinal mucosa.
