Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV) is regulated by T₃ in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in the developing rat brain and plays an important role in neuronal-specific gene regulation. T₃ treatment, but not retinoic acid (RA), stimulated endogenous CaMKIV mRNA 5-fold in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells differentiated into neurons. We localized a region -750 to -700 in the CaMKIV gene 5'-flanking region that conferred T₃ responsiveness and bound thyroid hormone receptor (TR), retinoic acid receptor (RAR), and chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor 1 (COUP-TF1). T₃ and RA treatment stimulated the CaMKIV hormone response element. Cotransfection of a COUP-TF1 expression vector repressed the T₃ response and augmented the RA response. Mutational analysis identified three half-sites arranged in a direct repeat (AB) and overlapping inverted repeat (BC), required for functional induction and receptor binding. TR and RAR bound predominantly to the BC portion of the element and COUP-TF1 to the AB region, with a close correlation of binding and functional studies. COUP-TF1 binding did not influence TR/retinoid X receptor binding but modestly augmented RAR/retinoid X receptor binding. A single element confers T₃ and COUP-TF1 regulation of CaMKIV expression.
