RESUMO
The POU-domain transcription factor Pit-1 and Ets-1, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, can associate in solution and synergistically activate the prolactin promoter by binding to a composite response element in the prolactin promoter. We mapped the minimal region of Ets-1 required for the interaction with the Pit-1 POU-homeodomain. Here, we describe a detailed NMR study of the interaction between the POU-homeodomain of Pit-1 and the minimal interacting region of Ets-1. By using heteronuclear single quantum coherence titration experiments, we were able to map exact residues on the POU-homeodomain that are involved in the interaction with this minimal Ets-1 interaction domain. By using our NMR data, we generated point mutants in the POU-homeodomain and tested their effect on the interaction with Ets-1. Our results show that phosphorylation of Pit-1 can regulate the interaction with Ets-1.
