The
cAMP response element (CRE) and the CCAAT box of the fibronectin gene promoter
are separated by only twenty base pairs. A specific factor that binds the CRE
interacts cooperatively with the protein which binds to the adjacent CCAAT box,
stimulating transcription [1992, J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12767-12774]. Here we show
that the CRE factor is an heterodimer between a 43 kDa and the 73 kDa CRE-binding
proteins and we identify the latter as ATF-2 (also named CRE-BPI), a protein
implicated in recruiting transcriptional activators to promoters, able to form
heterodimers with Jun and for which a sequence-deduced MW of 55 kDa had been
previously reported.
