HEMATOPOIESIS Friend of GATA-1independent transcriptional repression: a novel mode of GATA-1 function1 Department of Pharmacology, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, Madison; 2 Section of Hematology Oncology, University of Chicago, IL; 3 Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Children's Hospital Boston, MA The GATA-1interacting protein Friend Of GATA-1 (FOG-1) is essential for the proper transcriptional activation and repression of numerous GATA-1 target genes. Although FOG-1independent activation by GATA-1 has been described, all known examples of GATA-1mediated repression are FOG-1 dependent. In the GATA-1null G1E cell line, estrogen receptor ligand binding domain (ER) chimeras of either wild-type GATA-1 or a FOG-1binding defective mutant of GATA-1 repressed several genes similarly upon activation with ß-estradiol. Repression also occurred in a FOG-1null cell line expressing ERGATA-1 and during ex vivo erythropoiesis. At the Lyl1 and Rgs18 loci, we found highly restricted occupancy by GATA-1 and GATA-2, indicating that these genes are direct targets of GATA factor regulation. The identification of genes repressed by GATA-1 independent of FOG-1 defines a novel mode of GATA-1mediated transcriptional regulation.
