Endothelins are a family of biologically active peptides that are
critical for development and function of neural crest-derived and
cardiovascular cells. These effects are mediated by two
G-protein-coupled receptors and involve transcriptional regulation of
growth-responsive and/or tissue-specific genes. We have used the
cardiac ANF promoter, which represents the best-studied tissue-specific
endothelin target, to elucidate the nuclear pathways responsible for
the transcriptional effects of endothelins. We found that
cardiac-specific response to endothelin 1 (ET-1) requires the
combined action of the serum response factor (SRF) and the
tissue-restricted GATA proteins which bind over their adjacent
sites, within a 30-bp ET-1 response element. We show that SRF and GATA
proteins form a novel ternary complex reminiscent of the
well-characterized SRF-ternary complex factor interaction required for
transcriptional induction of c-fos in response to growth
factors. In transient cotransfections, GATA factors and SRF
synergistically activate atrial natriuretic factor and other
ET-1-inducible promoters that contain both GATA and SRF binding
sites. Thus, GATA factors may represent a new class of tissue-specific
SRF accessory factors that account for muscle- and other cell-specific
SRF actions.
