Ets proteins have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression
during a variety of biological processes, including growth control,
differentiation, development and transformation. More than 35 related
proteins containing the 'ets domain' have now been found which specifically
interact with DNA sequences encompassing the core tetranucleotide GGAA.
Although ets responsive genes have been identified in the epidermis, little
is known about their distribution and function in this tissue. We have now
demonstrated that epidermis and cultured epidermal keratinocytes synthesize
numerous ets proteins. The expression of some of these proteins is
regulated as a function of differentiation. Among these is a novel ets
transcription factor with a dual DNA-binding specificity, which we have
called jen. The expression of jen is not only epithelial specific, but it
is the only ets protein so far described, and one of the very few
transcription factors whose expression is restricted to the most
differentiated epidermal layers. We show that two epidermal marker genes
whose expression coincides with that of jen are transregulated by this
protein in a complex mode which involves interactions with other
transcriptional regulators such as Sp1 and AP1.
