Tumour-specific chromosomal rearrangements are known to create chimaeric products with the ability to generate many human cancers. hTAF(II)68-TEC (where hTAF(II)68 is human TATA-binding protein-associated factor II 68 and TEC is translocated in extraskeletal chondrosarcoma) is such a fusion product, resulting from a t(9;17) chromosomal translocation found in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas, where the hTAF(II)68 NTD (N-terminal domain) is fused to TEC protein. To identify proteins that control hTAF(II)68-TEC function, we used affinity chromatography on immobilized hTAF(II)68 (NTD) and MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight) MS and isolated a novel hTAF(II)68-TEC-interacting protein, GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase). GAPDH is a glycolytic enzyme that is also involved in the early steps of apoptosis, nuclear tRNA export, DNA replication, DNA repair and transcription. hTAF(II)68-TEC and GAPDH were co-immunoprecipitated from cell extracts, and glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays revealed that the C-terminus of hTAF(II)68 (NTD) was required for interaction with GAPDH. In addition, three independent regions of GAPDH (amino acids 1-66, 67-160 and 160-248) were involved in binding to hTAF(II)68 (NTD). hTAF(II)68-TEC-dependent transcription was enhanced by GAPDH, but not by a GAPDH mutant defective in hTAF(II)68-TEC binding. Moreover, a fusion of GAPDH with the GAL4 DNA-binding domain increased the promoter activity of a reporter containing GAL4 DNA-binding sites, demonstrating the presence of a transactivation domain(s) in GAPDH. The results of the present study suggest that the transactivation potential of the hTAF(II)68-TEC oncogene product is positively modulated by GAPDH.
