Abstract/OtherAbstract:
S100A6 (calcyclin) is a small calcium-binding protein of the S100 family often associated with cancer and metastasis. We have previously shown that the E-box sequence at position -283/-278 of the S100A6 gene promoter interacts with USF transcription factor and contributes to promoter transcriptional activity. We now present evidence that a second E-box motif at position -593/-588 of the promoter also binds USF and that the USF1/USF2 heterodimer is the prevailing dimeric form of the transcription factor bound. Using the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP), we show that USF is bound in vivo to the E-box regulatory element(s). Depletion of the endogenous USF pool by means of a decoy oligonucleotide evokes a severe inhibition of S100A6 gene promoter activity. Furthermore, we show that S100A6 gene promoter activity can be stimulated by palmitate and that mutation of the -283/-278 E-box sequence completely blocks this stimulation.
