Two classes of transcription factors, ETS and
bZIP, stand out as key mediators of monocyte commitment and
differentiation. The ETS domain factor Spi-1 (also called PU.1) and the
bZIP factor NF-IL6 (also called C/EBP ) have been shown to be
involved in the transcriptional regulation of interleukin-1 gene
(il1b) and other monocyte-specific genes. We now show that
these two factors strongly cooperate on the il1b core
promoter ( 59/+12) in the absence of direct NF-IL6 binding to DNA.
Transient transfection assays, using mutated il1b core
promoters, showed that the Spi-1, but not the NF-IL6, binding site is
absolutely required for functional cooperativity. Furthermore, the
NF-IL6 transactivation domain (TAD) is functionally indispensable and
more critical than that of Spi-1. Additionally, TAD-deficient NF-IL6
functions as a dominant negative for Spi-1-mediated activation,
suggesting the involvement of the bZIP DNA binding domain. This is
supported by the demonstration of in vitro interaction
between the NF-IL6 bZIP and Spi-1 winged helix-turn-helix (wHTH) DNA
binding domains, arguing that NF-IL6 vigorously activates the
il1b core promoter via protein-tethered transactivation
mediated by Spi-1.
