To understand transcriptional regulation of the selenoprotein W (SeW) gene, we used in vitro binding assays to identify transcription factors that may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of the SeW gene. Using protein from rat C6 (glial) cell nuclear extracts, oligonucleotides containing putative regulatory elements in the SeW promoter and antibodies, we observed that specificity protein 1(Sp1) transcription factor binds to the Sp1 consensus sequence in the SeW promoter as well as to the metal response element (MRE). Although competition analysis showed specific binding at the TFII-1 site, super-shift analysis using anti-TFII-1 antibody did not yield any super-shifted band. Therefore, the SeW gene may be a target for Sp1 whose binding to various regulatory sequences of the SeW promoter may activate or repress the transcription of SeW. The MRE, GRE, AP-1 and LF-A1 sites were also tested but no evidence was obtained for specific binding as indicated by lack of competition with unlabeled probes. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
