We have used a transient expression assay employing Drosophila tissue culture cells to study the transcriptional repression activity of the homeo domain protein Even-skipped (Eve). Eve was found to repress all promoters that contained Eve-binding sites, including both TATA-containing and TATA-lacking minimal promoters, as well as promoters activated by several different classes of activator proteins. These findings suggest that the general transcription machinery can be a target of Eve. By analyzing properties of a variety of Eve mutants and chimeric fusion proteins, we have identified several features important for efficient repression. In addition to the DNA-binding domain, a potent repressor requires a repression domain, which can be as small as 27 residues. The minimal 57-residue Eve repression domain, as well as several others studied here, were all found to be proline rich and to contain a high percentage of hydrophobic residues. An intriguing feature of the strong repressors was that their DNA-binding activities, measured by gel retention assays with nuclear extracts, were significantly less than those of derivatives inactive in repression.
