The molecular determinants governing
cell-specific expression of the thyrotropin (TSH) -subunit gene in
pituitary thyrotropes are not well understood. The P1 region of the
mouse TSH promoter ( 133 to 88) region interacts with Pit-1 and
an additional 50-kDa factor at an adjacent site that resembles a
consensus GATA binding site. Northern and Western blot assays
demonstrated the presence of GATA-2 transcripts and protein in TtT-97
thyrotropic tumors. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, a
comigrating complex was observed with both TtT-97 nuclear extracts and
GATA-2 expressed in COS cells. The complex demonstrated binding
specificity to the P1 region DNA probe and could be disrupted by a
GATA-2 antibody. When both Pit-1 and GATA-2 were combined, a slower
migrating complex, indicative of a ternary protein-DNA interaction was
observed. Cotransfection of both Pit-1 and GATA-2 into CV-1 cells
synergistically stimulated mouse TSH promoter activity 8.5-fold,
while each factor alone had a minimal effect. Mutations that abrogated
this functional stimulatory effect mapped to the P1 region. Finally, we
show that GATA-2 directly interacts with Pit-1 in solution. In summary, these data demonstrate functional synergy and physical interaction between homeobox and zinc finger factors and provide insights into the
transcriptional mechanisms of thyrotrope-specific gene expression.
