The HOXC11 Homeodomain Protein Interacts with the Lactase-Phlorizin Hydrolase Promoter and Stimulates HNF1-dependent Transcription

From the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Genetics, Biochemical Laboratory C, The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3, DK-2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark

The lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) gene is expressed specifically in the enterocytes of the small intestine. LPH levels are high in newborn mammals, but decrease after weaning. We have previously suggested that the promoter element CE-LPH1, located at 40 to 54, plays an important role in this down-regulation, because the DNA binding activity of a nuclear factor that binds to this site is present specifically in small intestinal extracts and is down-regulated after weaning. In an effort to clone CE-LPH1-binding factors, a yeast one-hybrid genetic selection was used, resulting in the isolation of a partial cDNA encoding the human homeodomain protein HOXC11. The full-length HOXC11 sequence was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. It was shown in a yeast assay and by electrophoretic mobility shift assay that HOXC11 binds to the CE-LPH1 element with similar specificity to the endogenous intestinal factor. Two HOXC11 transcript sizes were identified by Northern blot analysis. The larger transcript (2.1 kilobase pairs) is likely to contain a translational start site in good context and is present in HeLa cells. The shorter 1.7-kilobase pair transcript, present in HeLa and Caco-2 cells, probably encodes a protein lacking 114 amino acids at the N-terminal end. Both forms of HOXC11 potentiate transcriptional activation of the LPH promoter by HNF1. The expression of HOXC11 mRNA in human fetal intestine suggests a role in early intestinal development.
