The mb-1 gene, encoding a membrane immunoglobulin-associated protein, is developmentally regulated and expressed specifically in pre-B and mature B lymphocytes. Analysis of the TATA-less mb-1 promoter indicated that it directs initiation of transcription from multiple sites. Promoter sequences between -68 and +70 conferred the correct pattern of cell type-specific transcription upon a heterologous gene. Two nuclear factor-binding sites that are important for promoter function were identified between -59 and -38. Both sites interacted with ubiquitous nuclear factors in vitro. One of these factors was identified as Sp1. Multimerized copies of both factor-binding sites augmented expression from a heterologous minimal promoter in both lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, suggesting that additional mb-1 promoter sequences are involved in determining the correct cell type specificity. Analysis of the heterogeneity of transcription initiation indicated that a mutation which increased the distance between upstream sequences and the region of initiation resulted in the utilization of a novel set of initiation sites. Moreover, an insertion of a TATA element into the mb-1 promoter at -30 biased initiation of transcription to +1 but did not abolish the use of the other sites. Mutation of an initiator sequence homology encompassing one of the major initiation sites had only a minor effect on its utilization. From these data, we conclude that upstream factor-binding sites in the TATA-less mb-1 promoter define a region in which initiation of transcription occurs at multiple sites.
