BACKGROUND: The proto-oncogene product c-Rel is a Rel/NF-kappaB family transcription factor that plays a critical role in lymphoid cell development and mediates CD28-induced expression of interleukin 2 (IL-2). The CD28 response element (CD28RE) in the IL-2 enhancer is nonameric and similar to the kappaB DNA target sites recognized by p65 homodimers. RESULTS: We have determined and refined the X-ray crystal structure of the c-Rel homodimer complexed to the CD28RE DNA site, 5'-AGAAATTCC-3', to 2.85 A resolution. The c-Rel homodimer binds CD28RE in a mode similar to that observed in the p65/IL-8 kappaB crystallographic complex. Binding studies reveal that the c-Rel homodimer recognizes the CD28RE with higher affinity as compared to other canonical kappaB sequences despite the nonconsensus A:T base pair at the 5' end of the CD28RE. Preferential recognition of the CD28RE by c-Rel results from the direct contacts between the protein and the DNA as well as intrasubunit interactions between the beta(f)-beta(g) loop in the dimerization domain and the DNA-contacting loop L1 of the N-terminal domain. Not only do these loops have different conformations in other Rel/DNA crystallographic complexes, but they also contain two of the five oncogenic point mutations found in v-Rel. CONCLUSIONS: The current structure indicates that a non-DNA-contacting loop in the dimerization domain and the DNA-contacting loop L1 may play critical roles in defining affinity and specificity. Two amino acid changes in these segments may account for the differential DNA binding by v-Rel as compared to that of c-Rel.

Function

REL_CHICK Proto-oncogene that may play a role in differentiation and lymphopoiesis. NF-kappa-B is a pleiotropic transcription factor which is present in almost all cell types and is involved in many biological processed such as inflammation, immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis and apoptosis. NF-kappa-B is a homo- or heterodimeric complex formed by the Rel-like domain-containing proteins RELA/p65, RELB, NFKB1/p105, NFKB1/p50, REL and NFKB2/p52. The dimers bind at kappa-B sites in the DNA of their target genes and the individual dimers have distinct preferences for different kappa-B sites that they can bind with distinguishable affinity and specificity. Different dimer combinations act as transcriptional activators or repressors, respectively. NF-kappa-B is controlled by various mechanisms of post-translational modification and subcellular compartmentalization as well as by interactions with other cofactors or corepressors. NF-kappa-B complexes are held in the cytoplasm in an inactive state complexed with members of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor (I-kappa-B) family. In a conventional activation pathway, I-kappa-B is phosphorylated by I-kappa-B kinases (IKKs) in response to different activators, subsequently degraded thus liberating the active NF-kappa-B complex which translocates to the nucleus. The NF-kappa-B heterodimer RELA/p65-c-Rel is a transcriptional activator (By similarity).
