CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBPs) are
basic region/leucine zipper transcription factors that function as
regulators of cell growth and differentiation in numerous cell types.
We previously localized transcriptional activation and inhibitory regions in one family member, C/EBP . Here we describe the further characterization of a C/EBP inhibitory domain termed regulatory domain I. We show that functionally related domains are present in C/EBP , C/EBP , and C/EBP . These domains contain an
evolutionarily conserved five-amino acid motif (the regulatory domain
motif (RDM)) that conforms to the consensus sequence
(I/V/L)KXEP. Mutagenesis studies revealed that the
residues at positions 1, 2, and 4 of the RDM are critical for
inhibitory domain function. Data base searches identified RDM-like
sequences in a number of nuclear proteins. We found that small regions
from c-Jun, JunB, and JunD containing this sequence also function as
transcriptional inhibitory domains. Importantly, the RDM is similar to
the recognition sequence for attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein,
small ubiquitin-like modifier-1 (SUMO-1), and the conserved lysine
residue of each C/EBP RDM served as an attachment site for SUMO-1.
SUMO-1 attachment decreased the inhibitory effect of the C/EBP
regulatory domain, suggesting that sumoylation may play an important
role in modulating C/EBP activity as well as that of the other C/EBP
family members.
