Cell-specific expression of the rat insulin II gene is in part mediated through an element located in the 5`-flanking region. The element, termed RIPE3b (-126 to -101), confers -cell-specific expression in conjunction with an adjacent element RIPE3a (-110 to -86). Here we report the characterization of one of the RIPE3b-binding complexes, 3b2. UV cross-linking analysis demonstrated that it is composed of at least three polypeptides: p58, p62, and p110. Furthermore, a cDNA was isolated via expression screening for binding to RIPE3b. Sequence analysis reveals that the encoded protein, designated Rip-1, possessed putative helicase motifs and a potential transcription activation domain. Overexpression of Rip-1 in cells greatly enhances the 3b2 binding complex, suggesting that Rip-1 is involved in the binding of 3b2.
