The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) beta chain (IL-2R beta) is an essential signaling component of high- and intermediate-affinity IL-2Rs. Our laboratory previously reported that a DNA fragment containing 857 bp of 5'-flanking sequence of the human IL-2R beta gene exhibited promoter activity. We have now further characterized the promoter and delineated cis-acting regulatory regions. The region downstream of -363 is critical for basal and phorbol myristate acetate-inducible IL-2R beta promoter activity and contains at least three enhancer-like regions. Among them, the -56 to -34 enhancer was the most potent and had high-level activity in two T-cell lines but not in nonlymphoid HeLaS3 and MG63 cells. This enhancer contains a GGAA Ets binding site which bound two Ets family proteins, Ets-1 and GA-binding protein in vitro. Mutation of the Ets motif strongly diminished both promoter and enhancer activities. We conclude that this Ets binding site plays a key role in regulating basal and phorbol myristate acetate-inducible IL-2R beta promoter activity and may also contribute to tissue-specific expression of the IL-2R beta gene.

We have delineated a positive regulatory element in the interleukin-2 receptor alpha-chain gene (IL-2R alpha) between positions -299 and -243 that can potently activate a heterologous (herpesvirus thymidine kinase [tk]) promoter in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced Jurkat T cells and is functional when cloned in either orientation. This enhancerlike element contains a site (-268/-257) that can bind NF-kappa B; however, unlike the immunoglobulin kappa gene kappa B enhancer element, the IL-2R alpha kappa B-like site alone can only weakly activate a heterologous promoter. Adjacent 5' and 3' sequences also weakly activate the tk-CAT vector, but constructs combining the IL-2R alpha kappa B-like site plus adjacent 5' and 3' sequences potently activate gene expression. This combination of regions is essential for potent PMA-induced transcription from the tk promoter. Experiments using constructs in which IL-2R alpha upstream sequences are sequentially deleted suggested that there is a region 5' of position -299 which can suppress IL-2R alpha promoter and/or enhancer activity. Thus, it is possible that both positive and negative elements may be important in the regulation of IL-2R alpha gene transcription.
