The major histocompatibility complex (MHC)
class II transactivator (CIITA) acts as a master switch to activate
expression of the genes required for MHC-II antigen presentation.
During B-cell to plasma cell differentiation, MHC-II expression is
actively silenced, but the mechanism has been unknown. In plasma cell
tumors such as multiple myeloma the repression of MHC-II is associated with the loss of CIITA. We have identified that positive regulatory domain I binding factor 1 (PRDI-BF1), a transcriptional
repressor, inhibits CIITA expression in multiple myeloma cell lines.
Repression of CIITA depends on the DNA binding activity of PRDI-BF1 and
its specific binding site in the CIITA promoter. Deletion of a histone deacetylase recruitment domain in PRDI-BF1 does not inhibit repression of CIITA nor does blocking histone deacetylase activity. This is
in contrast to PRDI-BF1 repression of the c-myc promoter.
Repression of CIITA requires either the N-terminal acidic and conserved
PR motif or the proline-rich domain. PRDI-BF1 has been shown to
be a key regulator of B-cell and macrophage differentiation. These findings now indicate that PRDI-BF1 has at least two mechanisms of
repression whose function is dependent on the nature of the target
promoter. Importantly, PRDI-BF1 is defined as the key molecule in
silencing CIITA and thus MHC-II in multiple myeloma cells.
