To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA. The WT 36-bp DNA sequence (−63 to −28) of the ɛy globin proximal promoter contains two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites, shown in bold underline. Versions with truncation of this sequence (M1) or mutation of one of the two consensus binding sites (M2 and M3) are also shown.\n(B) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed using the 36-bp radio-labeled WT probe (as shown in (A)) and c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro using reticulocyte lysate (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, c-Myc antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 5: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 6: no competion, no antibody using in vitro translated vector containing c-Myc, but not Sox6.\n(C) EMSA with HA-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed similarly as in (B) using HA-tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown. The baseline activities of the mutagenized reporter constructs are comparable to the WT construct."}

Studies Using GM979 Cells Indicate That Sox6 Directly Represses the ɛy Gene Promoter at the Transcriptional Level\nReal-time PCR assays (Figure 1) measure steady-state levels of ɛy mRNA, not transcriptional activity of the ɛy promoter. To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA. The WT 36-bp DNA sequence (−63 to −28) of the ɛy globin proximal promoter contains two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites, shown in bold underline. Versions with truncation of this sequence (M1) or mutation of one of the two consensus binding sites (M2 and M3) are also shown.\n(B) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed using the 36-bp radio-labeled WT probe (as shown in (A)) and c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro using reticulocyte lysate (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, c-Myc antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 5: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 6: no competion, no antibody using in vitro translated vector containing c-Myc, but not Sox6.\n(C) EMSA with HA-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed similarly as in (B) using HA-tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown.

To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression.

To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence.

The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner.

Studies Using GM979 Cells Indicate That Sox6 Directly Represses the ɛy Gene Promoter at the Transcriptional Level\nReal-time PCR assays (Figure 1) measure steady-state levels of ɛy mRNA, not transcriptional activity of the ɛy promoter. To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA.

Studies Using GM979 Cells Indicate That Sox6 Directly Represses the ɛy Gene Promoter at the Transcriptional Level\nReal-time PCR assays (Figure 1) measure steady-state levels of ɛy mRNA, not transcriptional activity of the ɛy promoter. To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression.

Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown. The baseline activities of the mutagenized reporter constructs are comparable to the WT construct."}

Studies Using GM979 Cells Indicate That Sox6 Directly Represses the ɛy Gene Promoter at the Transcriptional Level\nReal-time PCR assays (Figure 1) measure steady-state levels of ɛy mRNA, not transcriptional activity of the ɛy promoter. To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA. The WT 36-bp DNA sequence (−63 to −28) of the ɛy globin proximal promoter contains two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites, shown in bold underline. Versions with truncation of this sequence (M1) or mutation of one of the two consensus binding sites (M2 and M3) are also shown.\n(B) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed using the 36-bp radio-labeled WT probe (as shown in (A)) and c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro using reticulocyte lysate (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, c-Myc antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 5: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 6: no competion, no antibody using in vitro translated vector containing c-Myc, but not Sox6.\n(C) EMSA with HA-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed similarly as in (B) using HA-tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown.

To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA. The WT 36-bp DNA sequence (−63 to −28) of the ɛy globin proximal promoter contains two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites, shown in bold underline. Versions with truncation of this sequence (M1) or mutation of one of the two consensus binding sites (M2 and M3) are also shown.\n(B) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed using the 36-bp radio-labeled WT probe (as shown in (A)) and c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro using reticulocyte lysate (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, c-Myc antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 5: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 6: no competion, no antibody using in vitro translated vector containing c-Myc, but not Sox6.\n(C) EMSA with HA-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed similarly as in (B) using HA-tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown. The baseline activities of the mutagenized reporter constructs are comparable to the WT construct."}

Studies Using GM979 Cells Indicate That Sox6 Directly Represses the ɛy Gene Promoter at the Transcriptional Level\nReal-time PCR assays (Figure 1) measure steady-state levels of ɛy mRNA, not transcriptional activity of the ɛy promoter. To investigate whether Sox6 directly acts on the ɛy gene promoter at the transcriptional level, we used an in vitro transient transfection assay and GM979 cells, a murine erythroleukemic cell line that expresses both ɛy and adult beta globins [30]. We generated an ɛy promoter reporter construct (E-Luc) by fusing a micro-LCR (μLCR) element (2.5 kb) [31] to the ɛy proximal promoter (2.2 kb), followed by the luciferase reporter gene, as shown in Figure 2A (detailed in Materials and Methods). Overexpression of Sox6 in GM979 cells by transient transfection leads to a dosage-dependent repression of E-Luc reporter activity (Figure 2B). In contrast, overexpression of a truncated Sox6 protein that lacks its HMG domain [32] (similar to the p 100H mouse allele) fails to repress E-Luc activity (Figure 2B). These data indicate that Sox6 acts to repress the ɛy promoter at the transcriptional level.\nFigure 2 The Effect of Sox6 on the ɛy Promoter\n(A) Constructs of the ɛy promoter reporter (E-luc) and Sox6 overexpression vector. The E-luc reporter construct consists of a 2.5-kb μLCR element, a 2.2-kb ɛy proximal promoter, and the luciferase reporter in the pGL-3 basic plasmid (see Materials and Methods). Sox6 expression is driven by the CMV promoter.\n(B) Sox6 represses ɛy promoter activity in a dosage-dependent manner. In GM979 cells, the E-Luc ɛy promoter reporter construct was co-transfected (1) without overexpression of Sox6; (2–4) with increasing amounts of CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector; (5) with a truncated version of Sox6 that lacks its HMG domain; (6) with a mutant version of Sox6 (L386H) that has previously been shown to abolish interaction with CtBP2; or (7) with an empty reporter plasmid (without ɛy promoter and μLCR element).\n(C) Promoter deletion analyses to delimit the critical sequence. The 2.2-kb proximal promoter or deletions of it, as indicated on the left (numbering relative to +1 = the transcription start site of ɛy globin, see Materials and Methods), were engineered in reporter constructs as in (A) and were transfected along with CMV driven Sox6 to GM979 cells (see Materials and Methods for details). The relative repression by Sox6 on the activity of the different reporter constructs is shown. All experiments were done in triplicate. Sox6 has been shown to act as a repressor and to interact with a widely expressed co-repressor, CtBP2, on the fgf-3 promoter [5]. CtBP2 is expressed in GM979 cells (unpublished data). To investigate whether the interaction with CtBP2 is required for Sox6 repression of the ɛy promoter, we introduced a point mutation (L386H) in the Sox6 protein that has been previously reported to be sufficient to abolish Sox6-CtBP2 interaction [5]. This amino acid change is not in the HMG DNA binding domain. However, this mutant version of Sox6 retains the ability to repress the ɛy promoter in the transfection assay (Figure 2B), indicating that Sox6 represses the ɛy promoter in a CtBP2-independent manner. Deletion analysis of the ɛy promoter, as shown in Figure 2C, defined a region (−63 to −37) within the ɛy proximal promoter that is critical for Sox6 repression. Analysis of this short region reveals two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites [5] (Figure 3A).\nFigure 3 Analysis of the Minimal Region (36 bp) of the Proximal ɛy Promoter Responsive to Sox6\n(A) The sequence of the 36-bp fragment and its mutant versions used in EMSA. The WT 36-bp DNA sequence (−63 to −28) of the ɛy globin proximal promoter contains two Sox/Sox6 consensus binding sites, shown in bold underline. Versions with truncation of this sequence (M1) or mutation of one of the two consensus binding sites (M2 and M3) are also shown.\n(B) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed using the 36-bp radio-labeled WT probe (as shown in (A)) and c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro using reticulocyte lysate (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, c-Myc antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 5: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift); Lane 6: no competion, no antibody using in vitro translated vector containing c-Myc, but not Sox6.\n(C) EMSA with HA-tagged Sox6. EMSA was performed similarly as in (B) using HA-tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, HA antibody (producing a supershift).\n(D) EMSA using MEL cell nuclear extracts and the 36-bp WT probe. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe (run out of the gel); Lane 2: no competition, no antibody; Lane 3: competition with 200-fold excess cold probe, no antibody; Lane 4: no competition, Sox6 antibody (producing a supershift).\n(E) EMSA with c-Myc-tagged Sox6, WT and mutant versions of the 36-bp fragment in competition. EMSA was performed using the radio-labeled 36-bp WT probe and the c-Myc tagged Sox6 translated in vitro. Lane 1: radio-labeled free probe; Lane 2: no competition, no antibody. Competition was performed using 200-fold excess cold probes corresponding to WT (Lane 3), M1 (Lane 4), M2 (Lane 5), and M3 (Lane 6).\n(F) Both consensus Sox/Sox6 binding sites are required for Sox6 responsiveness. GM979 cells were transfected with a reporter construct (Figure 2A) containing −63 to +45 of the ɛy proximal promoter together with the CMV-Sox6 overexpression vector. Mutations of the consensus binding sites were also tested (M3, M2, M2 plus M3, see (A)). The fold repression of Sox6 with the WT or mutant constructs is shown. The baseline activities of the mutagenized reporter constructs are comparable to the WT construct."}
