We previously Identified a B cell-specific protein-DNA complex 5' of an Immunoglobulin n heavy chain promoter. The sequences to which this protein complex bound were required for induction of immunoglobulin mRNA levels with interleukln-5 + antigen. Further studies identified a second sequence 5' of these regulatory sequences that bound to both the nuclear matrix and to a similar lnterleukin-5 + antigen inducible protein complex. Therefore, we sought to Identify the putative regulatory proteins that comprised this DNA-blnding complex. In this study, we have used anti-topoisomerase II antibodies to demonstrate that one of the proteins found In the lnterleukin-5 + antigen inducible complexes is serologically related to topoisomerase II. To our knowledge, this Is the first report where a topoisomerase II related protein participates In an inducible mobility shifted protein-DNA complex. These data suggest a model In which the enhanced immunoglobulin gene transcription observed after treatment with Interleukln-5 + antigen might be explained by the Induction of a protein complex that acts to relieve torsional stress along the gene.
