Identification of Ku70/Ku80 as ADD1/SREBP1c Interacting Proteins

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In vertebrates, multisubunit cofactors regulate gene expression through interacting with cell-type- and gene-specific DNA-binding proteins in a chromatin-selective manner. ADD1/SREBP1c regulates fatty acid metabolism and insulin-dependent gene expression through binding to SRE and E-box motif with dual DNA binding specificity. Although its transcriptional and post-translational regulation has been extensively studied, its regulation by interacting proteins is not well understood. To identify cellular proteins that associate with nuclear form of ADD1/SREBP1c, we employed the GST pull-down system with Hela cell nuclei extract. In this study, we demonstrated that Ku proteins interact specifically with ADD1/SREBP1c protein. GST pull-down combined with peptide sequencing analysis revealed that Ku80 binds to ADD1/SREBP1c in vitro. Additionally, western blot analysis showed that Ku70, a heterodimerizing partner of Ku80, also associates with ADD1/SREBP1c. Furthermore, co-transfection of Ku70/Ku80 with ADD1/SREBP1c enhanced the transcriptional activity of ADD1/SREBP1c. Taken together, these results suggest that the Ku proteins might be involved in the lipogenic and/or adipogenic gene expression through interacting with ADD1/SREBP1c.
