Cloning and functional analyses of the mouse tapasin promoter

The expression of tapasin is critical for an optimized MHC class I assembly and stable MHC class I surface expression. Thus, impaired MHC class I antigen expression of tumors can be attributable to tapasin downregulation. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms of deficient tapasin expression, the mouse tapasin promoter region and its 5'-flanking sequences were characterized. The mouse tapasin promoter lacks the TATA box and its transcription is initiated at multiple sites within a 51-nucleotide stretch. Sequence analyses revealed transcription factor binding motifs for NF-kappaB, GATA, E2F, p300, AP1, SP1 and IRF-1/2. Detailed analysis of deletion mutants and elimination of transcr…
