The liver-specific vitellogenin B1 promoter is
efficiently activated by estrogen within a nucleosomal environment
after microinjection into Xenopus laevis oocytes,
consistent with the hypothesis that significant nucleosome remodeling
over this promoter is not a prerequisite for the activation by the
estrogen receptor (ER ). This observation lead us to investigate
determinants other than ER of chromatin structure and
transcriptional activation of the vitellogenin B1 promoter in this
system and in vitro. We find that the liver-enriched
transcription factor HNF3 has an important organizational role for
chromatin structure as demonstrated by DNase I-hypersensitive site
mapping. Both HNF3 and the estrogen receptor activate transcription
synergistically and are able to interact with chromatin reconstituted
in vitro with three positioned nucleosomes. We propose that
HNF3 is the cellular determinant which establishes a promoter
environment favorable to a rapid transcriptional activation by the
estrogen receptor.
