The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transports IgA and IgM across secretory epithelial cells and is essential in external immunity maintenance. We report here the structural characterization of the single-copy rat gene distributed over 30 kb of chromosomal DNA and analysis of its transcriptional control region. RNA sequencing and genomic analysis show a 5' terminal region originates at a major (+1) and a minor site producing an unusual 124-bp nontranslated exon I separated from a small 96-bp initiator ATG coding exon II by a 7.5-kb intron. The pIgR 5' region comprises a structured promoter with abundant helix-loop-helix (bHLH) cis elements positioned within an equivalent internal -70, -290, -528, and three centered at -745. The three latter bHLH elements each occur within 30-bp repeats at -690 to -780. Transient expression assays show a 1.3-kb 5' region is sufficient to drive expression in rat primary hepatocyte monolayer cultures, transformed human hepatic (HepG2) cells, and a mammary epithelial tumor cell line MCF-7, but is inactive in the rodent fibroblast 3T3 cell line. A minimal transcriptional promoter domain was deduced from sequentially deleted vectors revealing a +40 to -922 sequence to be sufficient for full activity. Further deletions within this region yield incremental losses in cis activity, indicating that multiple subregions comprise an extended transcriptional control region.
