Activating Transcription Factor-2 Regulates Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Transcription through a Stress-inducible Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Pathway

From the Laboratory of Immunogenetics, NIAID, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, Maryland 20852-1727

Several protein-nucleic acid complexes are observed when nuclear extracts from hepatoma cells are assayed for binding to the cAMP response element found in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-cytosolic (PEPCK-C) promoter. Although cAMP response element-binding protein and CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins  and  have been identified as liver factors that bind this motif, an uncharacterized, slower migrating complex was also observed. We identify activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2) as the factor in this complex and show that ATF-2 stimulates expression from the PEPCK-C promoter. ATF-2 is a basic-leucine zipper transcription factor and a target for stress-activated protein kinases. We demonstrate that p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase augments ATF-2 transactivation activity on the PEPCK-C promoter, which is consistent with the interpretation that PEPCK-C promoter activity is maintained under stress through a p38 MAP kinase dependent pathway. In this regard, we show that treatment with sodium arsenite, a known activator of p38 MAP kinases, also stimulates expression from the PEPCK promoter. These results show that ATF-2 can stimulate transcription of the PEPCK-C promoter and support a role for stress inducible kinases in the maintenance of PEPCK-C expression.
