Previous studies in our laboratory and others identified placental transforming growth factor- (PTGF-) as an important downstream mediator of DNA damage signaling and a transcriptional target of p53. Here we show that accumulation of PTGF- mRNA in response to p53 overexpression is delayed relative to p21^WAF1, whereas the promoters of these genes respond to p53 with similar kinetics. Mutational analyses of two p53 binding sites within the PTGF- promoter revealed that site p53-1 (+29 bp) is responsible for as much as 80% of the transcriptional response to p53. This is consistent with electrophoretic mobility shift assays showing that site p53-1 binds p53 with a much higher affinity than site p53-2 (850 bp). We also describe for the first time a novel 21-bp element (222 to 242 bp) that acts to down-regulate the PTGF- promoter response to p53. Termed the p53 transcriptional repressor element (p53TRE), this sequence was shown to suppress p53 transactivation in a position- and promoter-independent fashion and to associate with a 28-kDa protein expressed in several tumor cell lines. A p53 suppressor element and asymmetric p53 binding sites may participate determining the activation thresholds of p53-responsive promoters in a cell- and context-specific manner.
