Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis
ectodermal dystrophy, caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator
(AIRE) gene, is an autosomal recessive autoimmune disease characterized
by the breakdown of tolerance to organ-specific antigens. The 545 amino
acid protein encoded by AIRE contains several structural motifs
suggestive of a transcriptional regulator and bears similarity to
cellular proteins involved in transcriptional control. We show here
that AIRE fused to a heterologous DNA binding domain activates transcription from a reporter promoter, and the activation seen requires the full-length protein or more than one activation domain. At
the structural level AIRE forms homodimers through the
NH2-terminal domain, and molecular modeling for this
domain suggests a four-helix bundle structure. In agreement, we show
that the common transcriptional coactivator CREB-binding protein (CBP)
interacts with AIRE in vitro and in yeast nuclei through
the CH1 and CH3 conserved domains. We suggest that the transcriptional
transactivation properties of AIRE together with its interaction with
CBP might be important in its function as disease-causing mutations
almost totally abolish the activation effect.
The Autoimmune Regulator Protein Has Transcriptional
Transactivating Properties and Interacts with the Common Coactivator
CREB-binding Protein*
