Abstract In the present study, cis elements in
the 5'-flanking sequence (FS) of the rat atrial natriuretic
factor (ANF) gene involved in regulating basal and
1-adrenergic–inducible transcription were
investigated. Truncation analyses using ANF-luciferase reporter
constructs transfected into primary neonatal rat cardiac myocytes
showed that an A/T-rich serum response element (SRE) at -114 bp
of the ANF 5'-FS, which bound serum response factor (SRF), was required
for basal and inducible transcription. In constructs composed of 134 bp
of rat ANF 5'-FS driving luciferase (ANF-134Luc), mutations in the SRE
at -114 bp disrupted SRF binding and ANF promoter activity.
However, the same mutations in ANF-638Luc had little effect, suggesting
a collaborating role for more distal sequences, such as the other SRE
in ANF-638 at -406 bp. In ANF-638Luc, mutations in the SRE at
-406 bp that disrupted SRF binding to that site decreased ANF
reporter activity by only 25%; however, mutating both of the SREs
completely blocked 1-adrenergic–inducible activity.
Mutation analyses showed that an 
(SP-1)–like site at
-69 bp, shown previously to confer inducibility in reporters with
134 bp of ANF 5'-FS, was not required in ANF-638Luc. However, double
mutants in the SP-1–like region and either SRE completely blocked
1-adrenergic–inducible ANF promoter activity. These
findings emphasize that no single element is responsible for
1-adrenergic agonist–regulated ANF transcription
but that the SREs at -114 and -406 bp and the SP-1–like
sequence at -69 bp mediate the effect in collaboration.
Key Words: atrial natriuretic factor • 1-adrenergic agonist inducibility • transcription • serum response element • serum response factor
