In the human ATP2B4 gene, coding for the plasma membrane calcium pump PMCA4b, a minor haplotype results in the decreased expression of this membrane protein in erythroid cells. The presence of this haplotype and the consequently reduced PMCA4b expression have been suggested to affect red blood cell hydration and malaria susceptibility. By using dual-luciferase reporter assays, we have localized the erythroid-specific regulatory region within the haplotype of the ATP2B4 gene, containing predicted GATA1 binding sites that are affected by SNPs in the minor haplotype. Our results show that, in human erythroid cells, the regulation of ATP2B4 gene expression is significantly affected by GATA1 expression, and we document the role of specific SNPs involved in predicted GATA1 binding. Our findings provide a mechanistic explanation at the molecular level for the reduced erythroid-specific PMCA4b expression in carriers of ATP2B4 gene polymorphic variants.

Exchange inhibitory peptide (XIP; RRLLFYKYVYKRYRAGKQRG) is the shortest peptide that inhibits the plasma membrane Ca pump at high Ca (A. Enyedi, T. Vorherr, P. James, D. J. McCormick, A. G. Filoteo, E. Carafoli, and J. T. Penniston, J. Biol. Chem. 264: 12313-12321, 1989). Sulfosuccinimidyl acetate (SNA)-modified XIP does not inhibit the Ca pump; SNA neutralizes the positive charge on Lys at positions 7, 11, and 17. Peptide 2CK-XIP (RRLLFYRYVYRCYCAGRQKG) inhibits the pump, but the iodoacetamido-modified peptide does not inhibit. Three peptide analogues, in which 7, 11, and 17 were Ala, Cys, or Lys, inhibited about as well as XIP. SNA modification of these analogues (each with 1 Lys) did not inhibit. SNA modification of 2CK-XIP results in a peptide that does not inhibit; thus position 19 is important. Our results suggest that it is critical that position 19 be positively charged, that positions 7, 11, and 17 are important contact points between XIP and the Ca pump (with at least one positively charged), and that, whereas it is not essential that residues 12 and 14 be positive, they cannot be negative.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been determined to be important regulators for pathogenic microorganism infection. However, it is largely unclear how miRNAs are triggered during pathogen infection. We previously reported that the up-regulation of gga-miR-451 negatively regulates the Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)-induced production of inflammatory cytokines via targeting tyrosine3-monooxygenase/tryptophan5-monooxygenase activation protein zeta (YWHAZ). The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism regulating gga-miR-451 in MG infection in chickens. Analysis of gga-miR-451 precursor, pri-miR-451, and pre-miR-451 indicated that the regulation occurred transcriptionally. We also identified the transcriptional regulatory region of gga-miR-451 that contained consensus-binding motif for aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (Arnt) complex, which is known as the transcription factor that regulates gene expression. Luciferase reporter assays combined with chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) demonstrated that AhR:Arnt bound directly to the promoter elements of gga-miR-451, which were responsible for gga-miR-451 transcription in the context of MG infection. Furthermore, upregulation of AhR:Arnt significantly induced gga-miR-451 and inhibited YWHAZ expression, suggesting that AhR:Arnt may play an anti-inflammatory role in MG infection. This discovery suggests that induced gga-miR-451 expression is modulated by AhR:Arnt in response to MG infection.
