Transactivation of Classical and Nonclassical HLA Class I Genes Through the IFN-Stimulated Response Element1

The IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) is an important conserved cis-acting regulatory element in the promoter of MHC class I genes, but displays considerable locus-specific nucleotide variation. In this report, the putative ISREs of classical and nonclassical HLA class I genes were investigated for their contribution to MHC class I transactivation. It is shown that IFN-{gamma} induced MHC class I transactivation through the ISRE of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-F. This is congruent with the binding of IFN regulatory factor-1 to the ISREs of these loci upon IFN-{gamma} treatment. Sp1 was shown to bind to the CG-rich sequences in the ISRE regions of HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-G. The putative E box 5' of the ISRE in most HLA-B alleles was shown to bind the upstream stimulatory factors (USF) 1 and 2. The Sp1 and USF binding sites did not influence IFN-{gamma}-induced transactivation. However, the USF binding site played a suppressive role in the constitutive expression of HLA-B. The locus-specific transcriptional control through the ISRE could be an important mechanism in the differential regulation of classical and nonclassical MHC class I expression, which determines adequate Ag presentation upon pathogenic challenge.
