Isolation and characterization of a TATA-less promoter for the human beta 3
integrin gene

Proper expression of the human platelet fibrinogen receptor is necessary
for the maintenance of normal hemostasis. This receptor is formed by the
heterodimer alpha IIb beta 3, a prototypic member of the integrin family of
adhesive molecules. beta 3 is also expressed in other tissues with alpha v
as the vitronectin receptor. It was not possible to study the basis for
tissue-specific expression of this gene, because the beta 3 gene promoter
had not been isolated previously. We have now isolated a 6.0-kb human
genomic DNA fragment containing 2.0 kb of sequence 5' to the beta 3 ATG
start codon. This clone also contains sequence encoding the signal peptide
of the immature beta 3 protein and 3.0 kb of 3' intronic sequence. Primer
extension and RNase protection studies of poly A+ RNA from a human
erythroleukemia (HEL) cell line indicated a major transcription start site
30 bp upstream of the ATG start codon. In an orientation-dependent manner,
a 584-bp fragment 5' to the start codon promotes expression of the
chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) reporter gene in K562 cells. CAT
expression from this beta 3 promoter is fivefold above expression from a
"promoter-less" control CAT construct. This beta 3 promoter lacks TATA and
CAAT cis-acting elements, but there are two Sp1 sites flanking the
transcription start site. Other potential transcription factor binding
sites are also identified. Phorbol esters (TPA), which increase beta 3
transcription in K562 cells, stimulated transcription from the 584-bp 5'
beta 3 region. The isolation of this beta 3 promoter region should permit a
more detailed analysis of its transcriptional regulation.
