摘要


PURPOSE:We wish to identify transcriptional factors involved in regulation binding to the proximal promoter region of the RPE65 gene that confers RPE-specific expression. METHODS:We incubated human D407 RPE cell nuclear extract with double-stranded (sense 5-prime biotinylated) oligonucleotides, based on the RPE65 proximal gene promoter, bound to streptavidin-Dynabeads. Bound nuclear proteins were eluted, separated on SDS-PAGE, and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Peptide sequence was used to identify cDNA clones that were subcloned into pCDNA3.1 for expression and co-transfection into D407 cells to assess transcriptional activation of mouse Rpe65 gene promoter/reporter constructs. SiRNA interference was used to suppress ZNF492 expression. RESULTS:We identified a D407 nuclear protein binding to biotinylated-DNA/streptavidin beads as the product of clone KIAA1473 encoding a protein named ZNF492. ZNF492 has an open reading frame of 531 amino acids with a truncated N-terminus and lacks the usual Krüppel-associated box-A (KRAB-A) while KRAB-B remains intact and has 12 C2H2 zinc-fingers in tandem arrangement. Co-expression in D407 cells of ZNF492 protein did not activate TR1, a mouse Rpe65 gene promoter/reporter construct with 49-bp 5-prime flanking sequence, but did activate construct TR2, containing 188-bp 5-prime flanking sequence, by 2.5-fold, and the longer constructs TR4, containing 655-bp 5-prime flanking sequence, and TR5, containing 1240-bp 5-prime flanking sequence, by about 2-fold. SiRNA-mediated suppression of ZNF492 in D407 resulted in decreased Rpe65 promoter activity. CONCLUSIONS:We have identified ZNF492, a KRAB-zinc finger protein, by its interaction with immobilized RPE65 promoter DNA sequence. This KRAB-zinc finger protein serves as a moderate transcriptional factor for Rpe65 gene upregulation. In ZNF492, absence of KRAB-A might reduce or prevent co-repressor binding to account for the modest upregulation of Rpe65 gene expression.
