Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is an orphan
nuclear receptor that binds DNA as a monomer and regulates the
transcription of multiple target genes. A mutation in the
proximal (P)-box of the first zinc finger of SF-1 (G35E) has
been reported to cause complete XY sex reversal and adrenal
insufficiency. Because this P-box region dictates DNA binding
specificity, we investigated the effect of this mutation on DNA binding
and regulation of target genes. Binding of the P-box mutant was
markedly impaired for most native SF-1 response elements. However,
mutant SF-1 bound to a subset of response elements containing a CCA
AGGTCA motif. Mutagenesis studies of response elements revealed that
the first nucleotide position in the 5'-flanking sequence triplet and
the central part of the half-site dictate DNA binding specificity by
the mutant SF-1. Further, introduction of a mutation into the SF-1
A-box, which has been proposed to bind to the 5'-flanking
sequence triplet, eliminated binding by mutant SF-1 to all response
elements tested. These data support the idea that the A-box stabilizes
monomeric binding by nuclear receptors. This action may be particularly important when P-box binding affinity is compromised either by mutations in SF-1 or by sequence alterations in its binding site.
