From the Transcriptional regulation of nuclear
encoded mitochondrial proteins is dependent on nuclear
transcription factors that act on genes encoding key components of
mitochondrial transcription, replication, and heme biosynthetic
machinery. Cellular factors that target expression of proteins to the
heart have been well characterized with respect to
excitation-contraction coupling. No information currently exists that
examines whether parallel transcriptional mechanisms regulate nuclear
encoded expression of heart-specific mitochondrial isoforms. The muscle

isoform in heart is a TATA-less gene that uses Sp-1 proteins
to support basal expression. The rat cardiac fatty acid response
element (
301/
289), previously characterized in the human gene, is
responsive to oleic acid following serum deprivation. Deletion and
mutational analysis of the 5'-flanking sequence of the carnitine
palmitoyltransferase I
(CPT-I
) gene defines regulatory regions in
the
391/+80 promoter luciferase construct. When deleted or
mutated constructs were individually transfected into cardiac
myocytes, CPT-I/luciferase reporter gene expression was significantly
depressed at sites involving a putative MEF2 sequence downstream from
the fatty acid response element and a cluster of heart-specific
regulatory regions flanked by two Sp1 elements. Each site demonstrated
binding to cardiac nuclear proteins and competition specificity (or
supershifts) with oligonucleotides and antibodies. Individual
expression vectors for Nkx2.5, serum response factor (SRF), and GATA4
enhanced CPT-I reporter gene expression 4-36-fold in CV-1 cells.
Although cotransfection of Nkx and SRF produced additive luciferase
expression, the combination of SRF and GATA-4 cotransfection resulted
in synergistic activation of CPT-I
. The results demonstrate that SRF
and the tissue-restricted isoform, GATA-4, drive robust gene
transcription of a mitochondrial protein highly expressed in heart.
