Abstract
Transcriptional activation of the interferon-beta (IFN-beta) gene requires assembly of an enhanceosome containing ATF-2/c-Jun, IRF-3/IRF-7, and NFkappaB. These factors bind cooperatively to the IFN-beta enhancer and recruit coactivators and chromatin-remodeling proteins to the IFN-beta promoter. We describe here a crystal structure of the DNA-binding domains of IRF-3, IRF-7, and NFkappaB, bound to one half of the enhancer, and use a previously described structure of the remaining half to assemble a complete picture of enhanceosome architecture in the vicinity of the DNA. Association of eight proteins with the enhancer creates a continuous surface for recognizing a composite DNA-binding element. Paucity of local protein-protein contacts suggests that cooperative occupancy of the enhancer comes from both binding-induced changes in DNA conformation and interactions with additional components such as CBP. Contacts with virtually every nucleotide pair account for the evolutionary invariance of the enhancer sequence.

Ribbons representation of the complex viewed (A) normal to and (B) along the DNA helical axis. The RHR of p50 is in light blue, and that of RelA in dark blue. IRF-7D is in yellow, and IRF-3C in green. The two DNA strands are in gray. (C) Sequence of the DNA duplex corresponding to the PRDI-II region of the IFN-β enhancer (−85 to −51 nucleotides from the start site of transcription). (D) Protein-DNA contacts of IRF-3C. (E) Protein-DNA contacts of IRF-7D.

Figure 3. Protein-DNA Contacts
Schematic diagram of protein-DNA contacts generated with NUCPLOT (Luscombe et al., 1997). Residues from ATF-2 are in red, c-Jun in dark red, IRF-3A and C in green, and IRF-7B and D in yellow. The RHR of p50 is in light blue, and that of RelA in dark blue. The core binding sites for each protein are indicated in the corresponding colors. Blue lines indicate hydrogen bonds, red lines, van der Waals contacts.
