The COP9 signalosome (CSN) contains eight-subunits and is a highly conserved protein complex implicated in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 (Jab1) is the fifth component of CSN (CSN5) with a molecular weight of 38 kDa. Jab1 overexpression is observed in many human cancers, but there is no clear evidence how Jab1 contributes to malignant transformation in human cancers. Bcr-Abl is a cytoplasmic chimeric oncoprotein produced by Philadelphia chromosome
translocation and found in more than 90% of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Recent studies have shown that the Jab1/COP9 signalosome subcomplex is a downstream mediator of Bcr-Abl kinase and may facilitate cell-cycle progression. In this study, we found that inhibition of Bcr-Abl kinase by STI-571 downregulated 50% of full length human Jab1 promoter activity and gene expression. Promoter deletion assay indicated that the responsive element for Bcr-Abl is located between -405/-223 region of human Jab1 promoter. Treatment of LY294002 also reduced Jab-405/-223 promoter activity and Jab1
expression. Promoter mutagenesis assay and ChIP assay suggest that Bcr-Abl stimulated both £]-catenin /TCF complex and STAT1 bind to the consensus binding sites of Jab-405/-223 promoter. Taken together, Bcr-Abl oncogene may regulate Jab1 via PI3K/AKT signal pathway, £]-catenin /TCF and STAT1 transcription factors.
