Stromelysin-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-3) is a
member of the matrix metalloproteinase family. Regulation of its gene
expression is critical for tissue homeostasis. Patterns of increased
co-expression of stromelysin-1 and ETS-1 genes have been observed in
pathological processes. Stromelysin-1 promoter is transactivated by ETS
proteins through two palindromic head to head ETS-binding sites, an
unusual configuration among metalloproteinase promoters. By
using surface plasmon resonance, electrophoretic mobility shift assay,
and photo-cross-linking, we showed that full-length human ETS-1 (p51)
binds cooperatively to the ETS-binding site palindrome of the human
stromelysin-1 promoter, with facilitated binding of the second ETS-1
molecule to form an ETS-1·DNA·ETS-1 ternary complex. The
study of N-terminal deletion mutants allowed us to conclude that
cooperative binding implied autoinhibition counteraction, requiring the
245-330-residue region of the protein that is encoded by exon VII of
the gene. This region was deleted in the natural p42 isoform of ETS-1,
which was unable to bind cooperatively to the palindrome. Transient transfection experiments showed a good correlation between DNA binding
and promoter transactivation for p51. In contrast, p42 showed a poorer
transactivation, reinforcing the significance of cooperative binding
for full transactivation. It is the first time that ETS-1 was shown to
be able to counteract its own autoinhibition.
