STRUCTURES OF SAP-1 BOUND TO DNA SEQUENCES FROM THE E74 AND C-FOS PROMOTERS PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO HOW ETS PROTEINS DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN RELATED DNA TARGETS

Overview

SAP-1 is a member of the Ets transcription factors and cooperates with SRF, protein to activate transcription of the c-fos protooncogene. The crystal, structures of the conserved ETS domain of SAP-1 bound to DNA sequences, from the E74 and c-fos promoters reveal that a set of conserved residues, contact a GGA core DNA sequence. Discrimination for sequences outside this, core is mediated by DNA contacts from conserved and nonconserved protein, residues and sequence-dependent DNA structural properties characteristic, of A-form DNA structure. Comparison with the related PU.1/DNA and, GABPalpha/beta/DNA complexes provides general insights into DNA, discrimination between Ets proteins. Modeling studies of a SAP-1/SRF/DNA, complex suggest that SRF may modulate SAP-1 binding to DNA by interacting, with its ETS domain.
