Abstract

A 21-bp element called glucocorticoid modulatory element (GME) modulates the glucocorticoid receptor-mediated responses via the binding of an as yet poorly characterized trans-acting complex of proteins containing the 88-kDa GMEB1 and the 67-kDa GMEB2. Using heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) as bait in the yeast two-hybrid assay, we cloned a 1.83-kb cDNA encoding a novel 573-amino acid protein called human GMEB1 (hGMEB1). hGMEB1 possesses a KDWK domain, contains sequences almost identical (36/38) to three tryptic peptides of rat GMEB1 and shares 38% identity with rat GMEB2. hGMEB1 is ubiquitously expressed as a 85-kDa protein in all cell lines and tissues examined. In vitro translated hGMEB1 bound specifically to GME oligonucleotides yielding a complex of similar size to the complex obtained using rat liver nuclear extracts. Both complexes were supershifted with an antibody specific to hGMEB1. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the in vivo interaction of HSP27 with hGMEB1.
