Structure/Activity Elements of the Multifunctional Protein, GMEB-1

GMEB-1 was initially described as a component of a 550-kDa heteromeric DNA binding complex that is involved in the modulation of two properties of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transactivation, the dose-response curve of agonists and the partial agonist activity of antagonists. Subsequently, GMEB-1 was also found to bind to hsp27, to associate with the coactivator TIF2 in yeast cells, and to participate in Parvovirus replication. To understand these multiple activities of GMEB-1 at a molecular level, we have now determined which regions are associated with the various activities associated with the modulation of GR transactivation properties. These activities include, homooligomerization, heterooligomerization, DNA binding, binding to GR and the transcriptional cofactor CBP, and GR modulation. Complex activities such as DNA binding and GR modulation, are found to require the physical combination of those domains that would be predicted from the involved biochemical processes. We have previously documented that GMEB-1 possesses both GR modulatory and intrinsic transactivation activity. However, the domains for these two activities of GMEB-1 are found not to overlap. This separation of activities provides a structural basis for our prior biological observations that the modulation of the dose-response curve and partial agonist activity of GR complexes is independent of the total levels of gene activation by the same GR complexes.
