Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) plays
an important role in expression of many cytokine genes including
interleukin-2 and interleukin-4. However, its role in interferon-
(IFN- ) expression is not well understood. In the current studies,
two strong NFAT-binding sites in the IFN- promoter were identified
by DNase I footprint analysis at positions 280 to 270 and 163 to
155. NFATp bound independently to both sites and was required for the
formation of a composite element with AP-1 spanning position 163 to
147. In Jurkat T cells and primary lymphocytes, activation-induced expression of IFN- reporter constructs containing point mutations in
either NFAT site or the AP-1 component of the composite site was
decreased by ~40-65%. Despite elimination of both strong
NFAT-binding sites, the IFN- promoter remained completely sensitive
to inhibition by cyclosporin. This suggests that other elements in the
IFN- promoter, such as the IFN- proximal element, are sufficient
for cyclosporin sensitivity of this gene. Ying-Yang 1 (YY1), a
potential inhibitor of IFN- expression, binds to sites located
between the two NFAT sites. Mutation of the YY1 sites alone had little effect on IFN- promoter activity. However, mutation of both the NFAT
and YY1-binding sites abolished activation-induced expression in
primary murine splenocytes but not in Jurkat T cells. This suggests
that under some conditions, YY1 may play a positive role in
activation-induced transcription of IFN- .
