Cyclic GMP-dependent Protein Kinase Regulates CCAAT Enhancer-binding Protein {beta} Functions through Inhibition of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3*

The CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP{beta}) plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression during cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We previously showed that C/EBP{beta} participates in cGMP-regulated transcription of c-fos in osteoblasts (Chen, Y., Zhuang, S., Cassenaer, S., Casteel, D. E., Gudi, T., Boss, G. R., and Pilz, R. B. (2003) Mol. Cell. Biol. 23, 4066–4082). In the present work, we show that cGMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) induced dephosphorylation and activation of C/EBP{beta} by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase-3{beta} (GSK-3{beta}). Phosphorylation of GSK-3{beta} on Ser9 negatively regulates the enzyme activity, and we found that PKG phosphorylated this site both in vitro and in vivo; the in vivo phosphorylation occurred rapidly and preceded C/EBP{beta} dephosphorylation. Previous studies with GSK-3 inhibitors suggest that GSK-3{beta} is a C/EBP{beta} kinase in resting cells. We determined that GSK-3{beta} phosphorylated C/EBP{beta} in vitro on Thr189, Ser185, Ser181, and Ser177; C/EBP{beta} was phosphorylated on these same sites in intact, unstimulated osteoblasts, and phosphorylation was decreased in cGMP-treated cells. Mutation of the GSK-3 phosphorylation sites in C/EBP{beta} prevented C/EBP{beta} phosphorylation in resting cells, enhanced C/EBP{beta} DNA binding, and led to increased target gene transactivation, mimicking the stimulatory effects of cGMP on C/EBP{beta}. cGMP regulation of C/EBP{beta} was disrupted by a mutant GSK-3{beta}(Ala9) resistant to cGMP/PKG phosphorylation and inhibition. We conclude that cGMP increases the DNA binding potential of C/EBP{beta} by preventing the negative effects of GSK-3 phosphorylation.
