Abstract

IEX-1, a recently discovered early response gene, regulates cell growth and apoptosis. IEX-1 gene expression is regulated by a variety of factors such as x-irradiation, ultraviolet radiation, steroids, growth factors, and inflammatory stimuli. By systematic examination of the IEX-1 promoter, we show that IEX-1 gene expression is controlled by multiple conserved gene regulatory elements and that IEX-1 is a downstream target of the p53 tumor suppressor and Sp1. In addition, p300, Sox, nuclear factor-kappaB, and AP4 appear to be modulators of IEX-1 gene expression to a lesser degree. We found that there is at least one Sp1 element that functions as an activator and contributes to high basal transcriptional levels of the IEX-1 gene. We demonstrate the presence of a p53 response element that represses IEX-1 promoter activity in HaCaT keratinocytes, indicating that Sp1 and p53 have opposite effects on IEX-1 gene expression. We conclude that IEX-1 expression in cells is regulated by the p53 tumor suppressor and Sp1, thus providing a direct mechanism for control of cell proliferation.
