PMID- 11113125 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20010719 LR - 20211203 IS - 0021-9258 (Print) IS - 0021-9258 (Linking) VI - 276 IP - 10 DP - 2001 Mar 9 TI - Chromatin assembly enhances binding to the CYP2B1 phenobarbital-responsive unit (PBRU) of nuclear factor-1, which binds simultaneously with constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)/retinoid X receptor (RXR) and enhances CAR/RXR-mediated activation of the PBRU. PG - 7559-67 AB - Phenobarbital induction of CYP2B genes is mediated by a complex phenobarbital-responsive enhancer (PBRU), which contains a binding site for nuclear factor-1 (NF-1) flanked by two DR-4 nuclear receptor (NR) binding sites for a heterodimer of constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR). To examine potential interactions between NF-1 and CAR/RXR, binding of purified recombinant proteins to DNA, or to chromatin assembled using Drosophila embryo extract, was examined. NF-1 and CAR/RXR bound simultaneously and independently to the overlapping NF-1 and NR-1 sites; binding of CAR/RXR to the NR-2 site was modestly increased by NF-1 binding; and CAR/RXR bound to a new site in the PBRU region, designated NR-3. Assembly of plasmid DNA into chromatin using Drosophila extract resulted in linearly phased nucleosomes in the PBRU region. The apparent binding affinity of NF-1 was increased by about 10-fold in assembled chromatin compared with DNA, whereas CAR/RXR binding was decreased. As observed for DNA, however, simultaneous, largely independent, binding to the NF-1 and NR sites was observed. CAR-mediated transactivation of the PBRU in cultured cells of hepatic origin was inhibited by mutations in the NF-1 site, and overexpression of NF-1 increased CAR transactivation in HepG2 cells. These studies demonstrate that NF-1 and CAR/RXR can both bind to the PBRU at the same time and that chromatin assembly increases NF-1 binding, which is consistent with previous in vivo footprinting studies in which the NF-1 site was occupied in untreated animals and the NF-1 and flanking NR sites were occupied after phenobarbital treatment. CAR-mediated trans-activation of the PBRU was increased by NF-1, analogous to NF-1 effects on phenobarbital induction in previous transient transfection studies and consistent with mediation of phenobarbital induction by CAR.
