The regulation of conformational arrangements of gene promoters is a physiological mechanism that has been associated with the fine control of gene expression. Indeed, it can drive the time and the location for the selective recruitment of proteins of the transcriptional machinery. Here, we address this issue at the proximal promoter where three G-quadruplex forming sites are present (kit1, kit2 and kit*). On this model, we focused on the interplay between G-quadruplex (G4) formation and SP1 recruitment. By site directed mutagenesis, we prepared a library of plasmids containing mutated sequences of the WT promoter that systematically exploited different G4 formation attitudes and SP1 binding properties. Our transfection data showed that the three different G4 sites of the promoter impact on SP1 binding and protein expression at different levels. Notably, kit2 and kit* structural features represent an on-off system for expression through the recruitment of transcription factors. The use of two G4 binders further helps to address kit2-kit* as a reliable target for pharmacological intervention.
