Most E2F-driven promoters are transiently activated around the G1/S transition. Although the promoter for the c-mybproto-oncogene harbors an E2F element, it is induced early in G1following entry into the cell cycle. Furthermore, this promoter remains active throughout subsequent cell cycles. Since E2F sites function as repressor elements during G1(due to the association of pRb with E2F factors), we investigated whether the E2F element in the c-mybpromoter is regulated differently than E2F elements in promoters that are repressed during G1. By gel shift analysis, the E2F element from the c-mybpromoter was found to form a unique complex, referred to as E2Fmyb-sp, which was not observed with E2F elements from several other promoters. Antibodies to DP-1, E2F1 to -5, p107, or pRb failed to either supershift or block E2Fmyb-sp complex formation. Methylation interference experiments indicate that the DNA contact residues for the E2Fmyb-sp complex are distinct from but overlapping with residues required for the binding of E2F proteins. In addition to the identification of E2Fmyb-sp, we have found that SP-1 binds to the c-mybE2F element. Functional studies revealed that E2Fmyb-sp and/or SP-1 are required to achieve full activation of the c-mybpromoter in different cell types and to maintain elevated expression of the c-mybpromoter during G1in NIH 3T3 cells. These studies demonstrate that E2F elements can be regulated differently through the binding of unique sets of proteins.
