Popis: Human coagulation factor XII promoter contains an estrogen response element that mediates ligand-activated ERa induction of coagulation factor XII gene expression. The 3*-half of coagulation factor XII-estrogen response element overlaps a putative CCAAT box, the widespread regulatory element specifically recognized by the heteromeric transcription factor NF-Y. Transient cotransfection of NF-Y and ERa results in strong inhibition of estrogen stimulation of coagulation factor XII promoter activity. NF-Y antagonism is primarily exerted by the NF-YA subunit and does not require binding to the CCAAT element, as NF-YA mutants with impaired DNA binding capacity retain the ability to inhibit ERa trans-activation. EMSAs with increasing concentrations of recombinant NF-Y do not detect the formation of NF-Y-DNA complexes or show impairment of ERa binding to estrogen response element. Immunoprecipitation of whole cell extracts with anti-ERa antibody reveals an in vivo association between the two transcription factors, which is abolished by deletion of the NF-YA carboxyl-terminus. In functional experiments with sequential NF-YA deletion mutants the HAP2-homology region appears essential in eliciting NF-YA antagonistic activity. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that heteromeric transcription factor NF-Y inhibits estrogen induction of coagulation factor XII promoter in a DNA binding-independent fashion and suggest a novel role for NF-Y as a partner for the ERa transcription complex.
