متن کاملLithium Stabilizes the CCAAT/Enhancer-binding Protein (C/EBP ) through a Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK3)-independent Pathway Involving Direct Inhibition of Proteasomal Activity*
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP ), a basic leucine zipper transcription factor, is involved in mitotic growth arrest and differentiation. Given that numerous proteins involved in cell cycle regulation are degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, we examined whether the C/EBP protein is degraded via a proteasomal mechanism. In cycloheximide-treated BALB/MK2 keratinocytes we found that...
متن کاملRSK-mediated phosphorylation in the C/EBP{beta} leucine zipper regulates DNA binding, dimerization, and growth arrest activity.
The bZIP transcription factor C/EBPbeta is a target of Ras signaling that has been implicated in Ras-induced transformation and oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). To gain insights into Ras-C/EBPbeta signaling, we investigated C/EBPbeta activation by oncogenic Ras. We show that C/EBPbeta DNA binding is autorepressed and becomes activated by the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK-p90(RSK) cascade. Inducible phospho...
متن کاملPhosphorylation-dependent down-regulation of c-Myb DNA binding is abrogated by a point mutation in the v-myb oncogene.
The viral Myb (v-Myb) oncoprotein of the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) is an activated form of the cellular transcription factor c-Myb causing acute monoblastic leukemia in chicken. Oncogenic v-Myb alterations include N- and C-terminal deletions as well as point mutations. Whereas truncations in Myb cause loss of various protein modifications, none of the point mutations in v-Myb has been di...
متن کاملAn Essential Role for a MEK-C/EBP Pathway during Growth Factor-Regulated Cortical Neurogenesis
Mammalian neurogenesis is determined by an interplay between intrinsic genetic mechanisms and extrinsic cues such as growth factors. Here we have defined a signaling cascade, a MEK-C/EBP pathway, that is essential for cortical progenitor cells to become postmitotic neurons. Inhibition of MEK or of the C/EBP family of transcription factors inhibits neurogenesis while expression of a C/EBPbeta mu...
