The mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is essential for transcription initiation and replication of mitochondrial DNA. It was previously reported that transcription factors Sp1, NRF-1, NRF-2 were critical for maintaining the normal transcription levels of the mammalian TFAM gene. In this work, investigation of the transcriptional regulation of the human TFAM gene revealed the presence of two cross-species conserved binding sites for the transcription factor hStaf/ZNF 143. By using promoter binding assays, transient expression of mutant TFAM reporter gene constructs and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, we provided insight into the involvement of hStaf/ZNF143 in promoter activity. Furthermore, we reported the identification of two other functionally important elements. Altogether, our data led to the conclusion that the promoter of the human TFAM gene harbors a complex organization with at least six transcriptional regulatory elements.
