Abstract

Despite the knowledge that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) plays an important role in preadipocyte differentiation, our understanding of how C/EBPalpha interacts with nuclear proteins to regulate transcription is limited. Based on the hypothesis that evolutionarily conserved regions are functionally important and likely to interact with coactivators, we compared the amino acid sequence of C/EBPalpha from different species (frog to human) and identified four highly conserved regions (CR1-CR4) within the transactivation domain. A series of amino-terminal truncations and internal deletion constructs were made creating forms of C/EBPalpha which lack single or multiple conserved regions. To determine which regions of the C/EBPalpha transactivation domain are important in its ability to induce spontaneous differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, we infected preadipocytes with expression vectors encoding the C/EBPalpha conserved region mutants and observed their ability to induce differentiation. We found that CR2 fused to the DNA binding domain is able to induce spontaneous differentiation independent of the other conserved regions. However, CR2 was not necessary for the adipogenic action of C/EBPalpha because a com...Continue Reading
