PLU-1 is a large ( 1544 amino acids) nuclear protein that is highly expressed in breast cancers and is proposed to function as a regulator of gene expression. A yeast two-hybrid screen using PLU-1 as bait has identified two unrelated PLU-1 interacting proteins, namely brain factor-1 (BF-1) and paired box 9 (PAX9), both of which are developmental transcription factors. BF-1 and PAX9 interact with PLU-1 via a novel conserved sequence motif ( Ala-X-Ala-Ala-X-Val-Pro-X-4-Val-Pro-X(8)Pro, termed the VP motif), because deletion or site-directed mutagenesis of this motif in either protein abolishes PLU-1 interaction in vivo. In a reporter assay system, PLU-1 has potent transcriptional repression activity. BF-1 and PAX9 also represses transcription in the same assay, but co-expression of PLU-1 with BF-1 or PAX9 significantly enhances this repression. Mutation of the PLU-1 binding motifs in BF-1 and PAX9 abolishes the observed PLU-1 co-repression activity. These data support a role for PLU-1 acting as a transcriptional corepressor of two unrelated developmental transcription factors. Because both BF-1 and PAX proteins interact with members of the groucho co-repressor family, it is plausible that PLU-1 has a role in groucho-mediated transcriptional repression.
