FKLF-2: a novel Krüppel-like transcriptional factor that
activates globin and other erythroid lineage genes

FKLF-2, a novel Krüppel-type zinc finger protein, was cloned
from murine yolk sac. The deduced polypeptide sequence of 289 amino
acids has 3 contiguous zinc fingers at the near carboxyl-terminal end,
an amino-terminal domain characterized by its high content of alanine
and proline residues and a carboxyl-terminal domain rich in serine
residues. By Northern blot hybridization, the human homologue of FKLF-2
is expressed in the bone marrow and striated muscles and not in 12 other human tissues analyzed. FKLF-2 is constitutively expressed in
established cell lines with an erythroid phenotype, but it is
inconsistently expressed in cell lines with myeloid or lymphoid
phenotypes. The expression of FKLF-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) is
up-regulated after induction of mouse erythroleukemia cells. In
luciferase assays, FKLF-2 activates predominantly the  , and to a
lesser degree, the  and  globin gene promoters. The activation of
gene promoter does not depend on the presence of an HS2 enhancer.
FKLF-2 activates the promoter predominantly by interacting with the
CACCC box, and to a lesser degree through interaction with the TATA
box or its surrounding DNA sequences. FKLF-2 also activated all the
other erythroid specific promoters we tested (GATA-1, glycophorin B,
ferrochelatase, porphobilinogen deaminase, and 5-aminolevulinate
synthase). These results suggest that in addition to globin, FKLF-2 may
be involved in activation of transcription of a wide range of genes in
the cells of the erythroid lineage.
