Alignment of natural chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor (COUP-TF) response elements shows that, in addition to the predominant direct repeat of the GGTCA motif with a 2-bp spacing, there are other functional COUP elements with variations in the GGTCA orientation and spacing. We systematically analyzed the binding of in vitro-synthesized COUP-TFs and showed that COUP-TF is capable of binding to oligonucleotides containing both direct repeats and palindromes and with different spacings of the GGTCA repeats. Subsequently, we analyzed four possible mechanisms proposed to explain how COUP-TF could bind to these spatial variations of the GGTCA repeat. We demonstrated that the functional DNA-binding form of COUP-TF is a dimer which requires two GGTCA half-sites to bind DNA. We demonstrated that the COUP-TF dimer undergoes a remarkable structural adaptation to accommodate binding to these spatial variants of the GGTCA repeats. A functional consequence of the promiscuous DNA binding of COUP-TF is its ability to down-regulate hormonal induction of target gene expression by other members of the steroid-thyroid hormone receptor superfamily such as the vitamin D3, thyroid hormone, and retinoic acid receptors. Our data indicate that COUP-TF may have an important role in hormonal regulation of gene expression by these receptors.

Chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor II (COUP-TFII) is an orphan receptor that regulates the expression of genes involved in development and homeostasis. COUP-TFII is also dysregulated in cancer, where it plays important roles in oncogenesis and malignant progression. Recent studies have also investigated altered microRNA-mediated regulation of COUP-TFII in cancer. Although many investigators have studied the expression and clinical significance of COUP-TFII in several cancer types, there remain many controversies regarding its role in these diseases. In this review, we will describe the functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of COUP-TFII in several cancers, especially colorectal, gastric, breast, and prostate cancer; additionally, we will briefly summarize what is known about microRNA-mediated regulation of COUP-TFII.
