Function ETV4_HUMAN Transcriptional activator that binds to the enhancer of the adenovirus E1A gene; the core-binding sequence is 5'[AC]GGA[AT]GT-3'. Publication Abstract from PubMed Ets transcription factors, which share the conserved Ets DNA-binding domain, number nearly 30 members in humans and are particularly involved in developmental processes. Their deregulation following changes in expression, transcriptional activity, or by chromosomal translocation, plays a critical role in carcinogenesis. Ets DNA-binding, selectivity and regulation have been extensively studied, although questions still arise regarding binding specificity outside the core GGA recognition sequence, and the mode of action of Ets post-translational modifications. Here we report the crystal structures of ETV1, ETV4, ETV5 and FEV, alone and in complex with DNA. We identify previously unrecognized features of the protein-DNA interface. Interactions with the DNA backbone account for most of the binding affinity. We describe a highly coordinated network of water molecules acting in base selection upstream of the GGAA core, and the structural features that may account for discrimination against methylated cytidine residues. Unexpectedly, all proteins crystallized as disulfide-linked dimers, exhibiting a novel interface (distant to the DNA recognition helix). Homodimers of ETV1, ETV4 and ETV5 could be reduced to monomers, leading to a 40-200-fold increase in DNA binding affinity. Hence, we present the first indication of a redox-dependent regulatory mechanism which may control the activity of this subset of oncogenic Ets transcription factors.
