STATs activated by various cytokine and growth factors trigger a quick response in the nucleus and induce changes in gene expression. We have found the sequences homologous to STAT binding site in the 5'-flanking region of the D-raf gene. In this study, we examined role of the STAT binding site in D-raf gene promoter activity in vivo by using transgenic flies. The reporter plasmid pDraf-STATmut-lacZ was constructed by fusing D-raf promoter fragment having the base-substituted STAT binding site with the lacZ gene in a P-element vector. Transgenic flies bearing the Draf-STATmut-lacZ fusion genes were established by P-element mediated transformation. The expression of lacZ in transgenic flies bearing Draf-STATmut-lacZ fusion genes carrying base substitution in STAT site throughout various developmental stages was extensively reduced in comparison with that in transgenic flies bearing wild type Draf-lacZ fusion gene. These results show that the STAT binding site plays an important role in regulation of the D-raf gene.
