The ets-related protein GABP alpha interacts with the four ankyrin-type (ANK) repeats of GABP beta to form a high-affinity DNA-binding complex that recognizes a site important for herpes simplex virus type I immediate early gene activation. To investigate the selectivity and specificity of the GABP complex, we have isolated two new ETS family members, termed ER81 and ER71. ER81 and GABP alpha were present in most tissues of adult mice, whereas ER71 was restricted to testis. We have compared the DNA-binding specificities of these proteins by binding site selection. GABP alpha, ER71, and ER81 recognized the common pentanucleotide DNA sequence 5'-CGGAA/T-3'. Although subtle differences were observed for nucleotide preferences flanking this pentanucleotide core, the overall similarity of the selected sequences was most striking. Given the observation that GABP alpha interaction with GABP beta requires its intact ETS domain, we further compared the ability of GABP beta to interact with other ETS proteins. GABP beta did not augment the DNA-binding activity of the highly similar ETS domains of ER81, ER71, or Ets-1. Moreover, probing of total tissue extracts with radiolabeled GABP beta demonstrated its exceedingly stringent specificity for GABP alpha. Given that the DNA-binding specificities of these ETS proteins are similar and that the protein-protein interactions between GABP beta and GABP alpha are highly specific, we conclude that the protein interactions determine the target site selection by GABP alpha.
