TSG101 is a tumor susceptibility gene exhibits multiple biological functions, including the regulation of vesicular trafficking, transcription, cellular growth and differentiation. The intracellular steady-state level of TSG101 was shown to under stringent control in a narrow range. Either deprivation or overexpression of mouse tsg101 in NIH3T3 cells leads to neoplastic transformation and subsequent tumorigenic potential of the transformed cells. However, the detail mechanism for regulation of TSG101 gene promoter activity is not clear. Our results indicated TSG101 is a housekeeping gene and contains a TATA-less and Sp1 binding site promoter. Here, we demonstrate in vivo binding of Sp1 transcription factor on TSG101 promoter region by chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP). In addition, Sp1-associated transcription regulators were purified using DNA affinity precipitation assay (DAPA) method and subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and the subsequent MALDI-TOF analysis. Our results verify the biding of Sp1 transcription on the DAPA probe containing wildtype but not the mutant Sp1 biding sequence by subsequent western blotting. Our MALDI-TOF analysis of protein spots from two-dimensional gel did not reveal the binding of Sp1 protein, instead the identified a number of cellular proteins, such as U5 small nuclear RNP¡BATP-dependent DNA helicase 2 and actin of unknown significance.
