| Research Abstract |
Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we have isolated and characterized a novel transcriptional cofactor of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) that was identical to Tat-binding protein-1 (TBP-1) originally isolated as a factor interacting with human immunodeficiency virus type I Tat transactivator. TBP-1 has subsequently been identified as a component of the 19S regulatory subunit of 26S proteasome. In this project, we further evaluated the function of TBP-1 and a TBP-1 interacting protein-1 (TBPIP) as transcriptional cofactors of nuclear receptors (NR). The TBP-1 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, whereas TBPIP gene expression was highly restricted in testis. Both TBP-1 and TBPIP could enhance AR-mediated gene activation and synergistically functioned in transient transfection assays. In in vitro binding assays, TBP-1 and TBPIP could directly interact with AR. The TBPIP interaction domain was mapped to the N-terminal coiled-coil region of TBP-1. Several recent studies emphasized the importance of 26S proteasomal system in transactivation function of NR such as estrogen receptor and AR. To investigate whether proteasomal function of TBP-1 and TBPIP was required for TR and AR-mediated gene activation, effects of a proteasome inhibitor, MG132 was evaluated. MG132 significantly inhibit TBP-1 and TBPIP-mediated enhancement of transactivation by TR and AR.
