Characterization of CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Protein alpha  as a Cyclic AMP-responsive Nuclear Regulator

The alpha  isoform of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBPalpha ) is a transcription factor that regulates expression of genes linked to adipose differentiation and hepatic nutrient metabolism. Recently, our laboratory has characterized a role for C/EBPalpha in mediating hormonal responsiveness. For example, the cAMP responsiveness of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene promoter in liver requires synergism among the cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), C/EBPalpha , and activator protein-1. In the present study, we show that C/EBPalpha can functionally substitute for CREB in this cAMP response unit, i.e. cAMP responsiveness can occur in the absence of CREB. This observation is physiologically relevant since both CREB and C/EBPalpha have been shown to bind with high affinity to the cAMP response element in this particular promoter. Structure/function analysis of C/EBPalpha identified specific mutations that differentially affected its constitutive and protein kinase A-inducible activities. This finding suggests that the mechanism whereby C/EBPalpha mediates constitutive transactivation is distinct from that whereby it mediates cAMP responsiveness. These data support the hypothesis that C/EBPalpha plays a critical role in metabolism, in part by participating in the hormonal regulation of expression of metabolically important genes.
