CC(A/T)6GG or serum response
elements represent a common regulatory motif important for regulating
the expression of many smooth muscle-specific genes. They are
multifunctional elements that bind serum response factor (SRF) and are
important for serum induction of genes, expression of muscle-specific
genes, and differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells. In the
current study, a yeast two-hybrid screen was used to identify proteins
from mouse intestine that interact with SRF. A novel
homeodomain-containing transcription factor, called Barx2b, was
identified that specifically interacts with SRF and promotes the DNA
binding activity of SRF. Northern blotting, RNase protection analysis,
and Western blotting revealed that Barx2b mRNA and protein are
expressed in several smooth muscle-containing tissues, as well as in
skeletal muscle and brain. In vitro binding studies using
bacterial fusion proteins revealed that the DNA-binding domain of SRF
interacts with a region of Barx2b located amino-terminal of the
homeobox domain. The results of these studies support the hypothesis
that interaction of SRF with different homeodomain-containing proteins may play a critical role in determining the
cell-specific functions of SRF.
