In our current studies we have used further deletion analysis and transfection studies in Rcho and GC cells to map more precisely the locations of regulatory elements involved in this placental expression. We show that sequences between \u22121435 and\u2212 765 are necessary for minimal expression in Rcho cells and that there are negative regulatory elements between \u22123031 to \u22122838 and \u22121729 to\u2212 1435. Most importantly, we have identified a fragment between \u22121793 to \u22121729 that is essential for expression levels characteristic of the complete 3-kb 5\u2032-region. When linked to the herpes simplex thymidine kinase minimal promoter, this fragment acts as an enhancing element in Rcho but not GC cells. Deoxyribonuclease I (DNAse I) protection and electrophoretic mobility shift assays with nuclear extracts and in vitro translated proteins identify binding sites for members of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) and Ets families of transcription factors. Site-directed mutagenesis of the individual AP-1- and Ets-binding sites leads to a partial loss of the enhancing activity; a double AP-1\/Ets mutation leads to a complete loss of activity, demonstrating the functional importance of these sites. By these criteria, putative GATA-binding sites located within the enhancing fragment are not active. These new data suggest an important role for this enhancing fragment in rPLII placental giant cell expression and are the first to implicate a member of the Ets family in the regulation of this gene family.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/mend.13.3.0243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]],"date-time":"2014-01-08T17:30:28Z","timestamp":1389202228000},"page":"385-399","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Identification
