The c-myb protooncogene encodes a highly conserved 75-89-kDa transcription factor that contains three functional domains, an amino-terminal DNA binding domain (DBD), a central acidic transactivation domain, and a carboxyl-terminal negative regulatory domain (NRD). Two acute transforming retroviruses, avian myeloblastosis virus and the E26 leukemia virus, transduced portions of c-myb and encode Myb proteins that are truncated in both the DBD and the NRD. Several conserved potential sites for phosphorylation by proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinases reside in or near the NRD, suggesting that phosphorylation might play a role in regulating c-Myb. We have previously demonstrated that serine 528, located in the NRD, is a target for p42^mapk in vitro. Serine 528 is phosphorylated in vivo in several cell lines, and substitution of serine 528 to alanine (S528A) resulted in an increased ability of Myb to transactivate a synthetic promoter containing five copies of the mim-1A Myb-responsive element and a minimal herpes tk promoter. We have tested the ability of S528A Myb to transactivate a series of cellular target promoters and report that the serine to alanine substitution increased the ability of Myb to activate transcription from the CD34 promoter but not the c-myc or mim-1 promoters. This suggests that phosphorylation of serine 528 may differentially regulate c-Myb activity at different promoters. The DNA binding and multimerization activities of c-Myb appear to be unaffected by the S528A substitution, suggesting that phosphorylation of serine 528 may mediate its effect on the transcription transactivating activity of c-Myb by regulating interactions with other proteins.
