The results from HeLa cells transfected with pGL3 luciferase reporter vectors containing progressive deletion of the <em>HEC1</em> 5′-flanking region demonstrated that two elements containing binding sites for cAMP responsive element binding (CREB) protein and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4 or CREB2) are critical for transcriptional activity. Mutation of the two elements, not downstream E2F box, resulted in a significant reduction of the promoter activity. Gel shift and supershift assays also demonstrated specific binding of transcription factors to their putative binding sites. Furthermore, overexpression of either CREB or ATF4 enhanced the activation of the <em>HEC1</em> promoter and overexpression of both of them had an additive effect on the activation of the <em>HEC1</em> transcription. Conversely, overexpression of dominant negative mutants of either CREB or ATF4 resulted in downregulation of <em>HEC1</em> mRNA significantly.
