The p18INK4c cyclin-dependent
kinase inhibitor is an important regulator of cell cycle progression
and cellular differentiation. We and others found that overexpressed
E2F proteins up-regulate p18 expression. To better understand this
phenomenon, we performed a functional analysis of the human p18
promoter. Deletion studies revealed that the E2F-responsive elements of
the promoter are located within 131 bp upstream of the transcription
start site. This region contains putative Sp1- and E2F-binding sites.
Mutational inactivation of these elements revealed that the Sp1 sites
were important for the basal activity of the promoter but could also mediate the effects of E2F1 on the p18 promoter. Moreover, we found
that E2F1 and Sp1 can synergistically enhance the activity of the
proximal p18 promoter. Gel shift analyses using p18 promoter-derived probes led to the identification of several multiprotein complexes that
were found to contain different combinations of E2F proteins and/or
Sp1. Recombinant E2F1 was also capable of binding to the E2F-binding
sites. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that E2F1
and E2F4 associate with the p18 promoter in unperturbed cells. Based on
these findings, we conclude that E2F proteins and Sp1 play an important
role in the control of p18 expression.
