The DNMT3A (DNA methyltransferase 3A) and DNMT3B genes encode putative de novo methyltransferases and show complex transcriptional regulation in the presence of three and two different promoters respectively. All promoters of DNMT3A and DNMT3B lack typical TATA sequences adjacent to their transcription start sites and contain several Sp1-binding sites. The importance of these Sp1-binding sites was demonstrated by using a GC-rich DNA-binding protein inhibitor, mithramycin A, i.e. on the basis of decrease in the promoter activities and mRNA expression levels of DNMT3A and DNMT3B. Overexpression of Sp1 and Sp3 up-regulated the promoter activities of these two genes. The physical binding of Sp1 and Sp3 to DNMT3A and DNMT3B promoters was confirmed by a gel shift assay. Interestingly, Sp3 overexpression in HEK-293T cells (human embryonic kidney 293T cells) resulted in 3.3- and 4.0-fold increase in DNMT3A and DNMT3B mRNA expression levels respectively by quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR, whereas Sp1 overexpression did not. Furthermore, an antisense oligonucleotide to Sp3 significantly decreased the mRNA levels of DNMT3A and DNMT3B. These results indicate the functional importance of Sp proteins, particularly Sp3, in the regulation of DNMT3A and DNMT3B gene expression.
