Abstract

Macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) from gram negative bacteria undergo activation of a group of immediate early genes including Rantes. The mouse Rantes gene promoter region contains an LPS rsponsive element(LPE) We detected 3 specific bands termed B1, B2 and 3 formed by the interaction of the LPE and proteins found in LPS-stimulated RAW 367.7 cells. An additional band B4 was determined to be an Ap-1 binding protein. The B1 band appears within 1 hour of LPS nuclear extracts from LPS-stimulation, and this protein kinase enhances B1 and formation. The B1 band can be converted to band B2/B3 by adding specific heparin column fraction purified Ser/Thr specific protein phosphatases PP-1 and PP-2A can stimulate the same conversion to about the same extent. Thus, the formation of the LRE sequence binding complex appears to be regulated by Ser/Thr protein kinase and one or more Ser/Thr specific phosphatases. At least four proteins are involved in the trgulation of the LRE-dependent Rants experssion: two binding factors that bind directly to the target sequences. and two factors that control their binding. The future purification and characterization of these binding pro-teins will reveal in detail the mechanism of Rantes gene activation after LPS stimulation.
