Description A −1027 bp to +108 bp region of Na-K-ATPase α3 gene promoter has been searched for the presence of thyroid
response elements (TRE). Computer analysis of this sequence using a consensus TRE sequence revealed the
presence of four putative TRE rich regions referred to as regions I (−636 to −457 bp), II (−218 to −106 bp),
III (−106 to −6 bp) and IV (−6 to +108 bp). Cotransfection of the luciferase linked full length construct as well
as constructs progressively devoid of the TRE rich regions in Cos1 cells revealed that regions I and III are positively
regulated by T3 whereas there are some sequences in region II which can suppress the positive regulatory effect
of region III but not of region I, TRE IV seems to have no functional role. EMSA of the three functional TRE
rich regions (I, II and III) showed strong and specific interaction with thyroid hormone receptor (TR) cloned and
expressed in baculovirus. The overall results suggest the regulation of Na-K-ATPase α3 gene by T3 is complex
involving several thyroidal regulatory elements.
