B-like sequence, Sb, is integral to the
composite enhancer located in the first intron of the
metastasis-associated gene, S100A4/mts1. Oligonucleotides
containing this sequence form three specific complexes with nuclear
proteins prepared from S100A4/mts1-expressing CSML100
adenocarcinoma cells. Protein studies show the Sb-interacting complexes
include NF-
B/Rel proteins, p50·p50 and p50·p65 dimers. Additionally, the Sb sequence was bound by an unrelated ~200-kDa protein, p200. Site-directed mutagenesis in conjunction with transient transfections indicate that p200, but not the NF-
B/Rel proteins, transactivates S100A4/mts1. To identify candidate genes for
p200, double-stranded DNA probes containing multiple copies of Sb were used to screen a randomly primed
gt11 cDNA expression library made from CSML100 poly(A)+ RNA. Two clones corresponding to
the DNA-binding proteins KRC and Alf1 were
identified. KRC encodes a large zinc finger protein that
binds to the
B motif and to the signal sequences of V(D)J recombination. In vitro DNA binding assays using
bacterially expressed KRC fusion proteins, demonstrate specific binding
of KRC to the Sb sequence. In addition, introduction of KRC
expression vectors into mammalian cells induces expression of
S100A4/mts1 and reporter genes driven by
S100A4/mts1 gene regulatory sequences. These data indicate
that KRC positively regulates transcription of
S100A4/mts1.
