Changes in expression of the c-mycproto-oncogene during the response of cells to growth or differentiation are often mediated at the transcriptional level, including control of the rates of initiation and elongation. Regulation of the level of initiation and elongation of c-mycgene transcription is likely to be mediated by the interaction of specific proteins with regulatory elements near or within the gene. Both positive and negative regulatory elements have been identified for the murine c-mycgene (Remmers et.al. 1986; Bentley and Groudine, 1988). To elucidate the mechanisms involved in negative control of c-myctranscription, we have employed the WEM 231 early B lymphoma cell line as a model system, since a major component of regulation of c-mycgene expression in these murine cells occurs at the level of transcription. Proliferation of WEHI 231 cells can be arrested within 24–48 hours following incubation with an antiserum against the expressed surface Ig, such as a goat anti-mouse Ig preparation (GaMIg) (McCormack et. al. 1984) or by treatment with phorbol ester (Levine et.al. 1986). Previously we demonstrated that a selective 5- to 10- fold decrease in c-mycmRNA expression occurs within 24 hours of treatment; this drop correlated with a decrease in the transcription of the c-mycgene (Levine et. al. 1986). We reasoned that control of this decreased rate of transcription could relate either to increased factor binding to a negative element or decreased binding to a positive element. In either case, a change in binding might be apparent. Here we report on the mapping of changes in the complex interaction of proteins at two sites within the c-myclocus during the down modulation of c-mycgene transcription in growth arrested WEHI 231 cells. The sequences mediating this binding are interacting with proteins within the NF-KB family of factors, implicating these factors in the regulation of c-mycgene transcription.
