The renal sodium-sulfate cotransporter, NaSi-1, a protein implicated to control serum sulfate levels, has been shown to be regulated in vivo by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,25-(OH)(2)D-3) and tri-iodothyronine (T-3). Recently, we cloned the mouse NaSi-1 gene (Nas1) and in the present study identified a 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3- and T-3-responsive element located within the Nas1 promoter. Mutational analysis of the Nas1 promoter resulted in identification of a direct repeat 6-type vitamin-D-responsive element (DR6 VDRE) at -525 to -508 and an imperfect inverted repeat 0-type T-3-responsive element (IR0 T3RE) at -436 to -425 which conferred 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 and T3 responsiveness, respectively. In summary, we have identified responsive elements that mediate the enhanced transcription of Nas1 by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 and T-3, and these mechanisms may provide important clues to the physiological control of sulfate homeostasis.
