Transcription of the Murine Interleukin 5 Gene Is Regulated by Multiple Promoter Elements

(Received for publication, May 4, 1995; and in revised form, June 15, 1995)

Cis-acting regions in the 5`-flank of the mouse interleukin 5 (IL-5) gene involved in the specific and inducible regulation of IL-5 transcription in an untransformed mouse T cell clone, D10.G4.1, have been identified. Transient transfection assays with a series of deletion IL-5 promoter reporter constructs indicate that multiple regulatory elements in the 5`-flanking region of the IL-5 promoter play a role in regulating IL-5 transcription in Th2 cells. Negatively acting elements, NRE I and NRE II, map to the regions between positions -431 and -392 and positions -300 and -261. A positive regulatory element has been mapped to the region between positions -224 and -81. The activity of these elements is dependent on activation of the cells. A 40-bp sequence within this region, termed the IL-5 PRE, has been shown to bind at least two specific nuclear protein complexes from unstimulated and stimulated D10.G4.1 cells. An additional protein complex specific for this site has been identified in nuclear fractions from cells stimulated in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide. Proteins that bind to these elements are likely to be important inducible and specific factors essential for control of IL-5 transcription in response to T cell receptor-mediated signaling events.
