The mi transcription factor (MITF) is a
basic-helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-Zip) transcription factor
that is important for the development of mast cells. Mast cells of
mi/mi genotype express normal amounts of abnormal MITF
(mi-MITF), whereas mast cells of tg/tg genotype
do not express any MITFs. The synthesis of heparin is abnormal in the
skin mast cells of mi/mi mice. Because N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 2 (NDST-2) is essential for the synthesis of heparin, the amount of NDST-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) was compared among cultured mast cells (CMCs) of +/+,
mi/mi, and tg/tg genotypes. The NDST-2 mRNA was
detected by in situ hybridization in the skin mast cells of +/+ and
tg/tg mice, but not in the skin mast cells of
mi/mi mice. The amount of NDST-2 mRNA decreased significantly in CMCs derived from mi/mi mice when compared
to the values of +/+ and tg/tg mice, suggesting that the
defective form of MITF inhibited the expression of the NDST-2
transcript. The expression of NDST-2 transcript was mediated by the
GGAA motif located in the 5'-untranslated region. GA binding protein
(GABP) bound the GGAA motif and increased the amount of NDST-2
transcript. The mi-MITF appeared to inhibit the ability of
GABP to express NDST-2 transcript by disturbing its nuclear
localization. This is the first study to show that expression of an
abnormal form of a bHLH-Zip transcription factor can dramatically alter
the intracellular location of another DNA/RNA binding factor, which in
turn brings about profound and unexpected consequences on transcript expression.
