    Specification of C/EBP function during Drosophila development by the bZIP basic region (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1994-12-16
    Description: The biologically relevant interactions of a transcription factor are those that are important for function in the organism. Here, a transgenic rescue assay was used to determine which molecular functions of Drosophila CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), a basic region-leucine zipper transcription factor, are required for it to fulfill its essential role during development. Chimeric proteins that contain the Drosophila C/EBP (DmC/EBP) basic region, a heterologous zipper, and a heterologous activation domain could functionally substitute for DmC/EBP. Mammalian C/EBPs were also functional in Drosophila. In contrast, 9 of 25 single amino acid substitutions in the basic region disrupted biological function. Thus, the conserved basic region specifies DmC/EBP activity in the organism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rorth, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 16;266(5192):1878-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore, MD 21210.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7997882" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A novel temporal expression pattern of three C/EBP family members in differentiating myelomonocytic cells (1992)
    American Society of Hematology
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-10-01
    Description: Members of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) family have been shown to regulate the terminal differentiation of adipocytes and hepatocytes. In these cell lineages, high levels of C/EBP alpha are found only in mature, nondividing cells. Using Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining, we have determined the temporal order of expression for C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, and C/EBP delta in differentiating myelomonocytic marrow cells. These studies show a unique temporal pattern of C/EBP isoform expression in the myeloid lineage. In particular, C/EBP alpha expression is very high in proliferative myelomonocytic cells, and diminishes during phenotypic maturation. While we have detected C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, and C/EBP delta in multiple myeloid leukemia cell lines, and C/EBP alpha in normal myeloid cells and in de novo human myeloid leukemias, we have not detected these C/EBP isoforms in either erythroid or lymphoid cells. Finally, we show that C/EBP alpha, C/EBP beta, and C/EBP delta protein and messenger RNA levels correlate in maturing granulocytic cells. The formation of tissue-specific combinations of C/EBP homodimers and heterodimers may allow this family of transcription factors to regulate different sets of genes in adipocytes, hepatocytes, and myelomonocytes.
