Distinct NF-kappa B subunit combinations contribute to the specificity of NF-kappa B-mediated transcriptional activation and to the induction of multiple cytokine genes including interferon-beta (IFN-beta). To evaluate the regulatory influence of different homo- and heterodimers, NF-kappa B subunits were analyzed for transcriptional activity in vitro using test templates containing two types of NF-kappa B recognition elements (the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 enhancer and the IFN-beta-positive regulatory domain-II (PRDII) as well as IFN-beta PRDIII-PRDI-PRDII linked to the -56 minimal promoter of rabbit beta-globin. Recombinant NF-kappa B subunits (p50, p65, c-Rel, p52, and I kappa B alpha) and interferon regulatory factor 1 were produced from either Escherichia coli or baculovirus expression systems. Transcriptional analysis in vitro demonstrated that 1) various dimeric complexes of NF-kappa B differentially stimulated transcription through the human immunodeficiency virus enhancer or PRDII up to 20-fold; 2) recombinant I kappa B alpha specifically inhibited NF-kappa B-dependent transcription in vitro; and 3) different NF-kappa B complexes and interferon regulatory factor 1 cooperated to stimulate transcription in vitro through the PRDIII-PRDI-PRDII virus-inducible regulatory domains of the IFN-beta promoter. These results demonstrate the role of NF-kappa B protein dimerization in differential transcriptional activation in vitro and emphasize the role of cooperativity between transcription factor families as an additional regulatory level to maintain transcriptional specificity.
