The 5'-flanking region (1.5 kb) of the gene coding for the human VIP1/PACAP receptor was isolated, sequenced, and characterized. Transient expression of constructs containing sequentially deleted 5'-flanking sequences of the VIP1/PACAP receptor fused to a luciferase reporter gene showed that this sequence was active as a promoter in the intestinal cancer cell line, HT-29, expressing endogenous VIP1/PACAP receptor. The shortest DNA fragment with significant promoter activity encompassed the region from -205 to +76 bp. Deletion of a CCAAT-box sequence in the construction corresponding to -173 to +76 bp dramatically reduced the promoter activity. The promoter -205 to +76 bp has a housekeeping gene structure without TATA-box. It contains GC-rich regions characterized by potential Sp1 and AP2 sites and some potential regulatory elements, such as CRE and ATF, and a CCAAT-box sequence (-182 to -178) crucial for gene transcription.
