The responsiveness of the 1.13 kb proximal human muscle glycogen phosphorylase (MGP) gene promoter to the chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter-transcription factor (COUP-TF) repressor, known to be ablated during muscle cell differentiation, was examined. Constitutive expression of COUP-TFI repressed the activity of the promoter in C2C12 muscle cells and sequential deletion analysis mapped the sensitive region between nucleotides -362 and -185, which included a putative consensus COUP-TF binding half-site at -198/-193. Mutation of this site abolished transcriptional response to COUP-TFI of the -362 construct. A -209/-180 probe bound in vitro to COUP-TFI and to protein extracts from proliferating but not fusing myoblasts. Thus, COUP-TF may be involved in repression of the human MGP gene promoter at the myoblast stage.
