The Binding Interaction of HMG-1 with the TATA-binding Protein/TATA Complex^*

High mobility protein-1 (HMG-1) has been shown to regulate transcription by RNA polymerase II. In the context that it acts as a transcriptional repressor, it binds to the TATA-binding protein (TBP) to form the HMG-1/TBP/TATA complex, which is proposed to inhibit the assembly of the preinitiation complex. By using electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we show that the acidic C-terminal domain of HMG-1 and the N terminus of human TBP are the domains that are essential for the formation of a stable HMG-1/TBP/TATA complex. HMG-1 binding increases the affinity of TBP for the TATA element by 20-fold, which is reflected in a significant stimulation of the rate of TBP binding, with little effect on the dissociation rate constant. In support of the binding target of HMG-1 being the N terminus of hTBP, the N-terminal polypeptide of human TBP competes with and inhibits HMG-1/TBP/TATA complex formation. Deletion of segments of the N terminus of human TBP was used to map the region(s) where HMG-1 binds. These findings indicate that interaction of HMG-1 with the Q-tract (amino acids 55-95) in hTBP is primarily responsible for stable complex formation. In addition, HMG-1 and the monoclonal antibody, 1C2, specific to the Q-tract, compete for the same site. Furthermore, calf thymus HMG-1 forms a stable complex with the TBP/TATA complex that contains TBP from either human or Drosophila but not yeast. This is again consistent with the importance of the Q-tract for this stable interaction and shows that the interaction extends over many species but does not include yeast TBP.
