CEBPB
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CEBPB gene.[1][2]
Contents |
Function[edit]
The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a bZIP transcription factor that can bind as a homodimer to certain DNA regulatory regions. It can also form heterodimers with the related proteins CEBP-alpha, CEBP-delta, and CEBP-gamma. The encoded protein is important in the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses and has been shown to bind to the IL-1 response element in the IL-6 gene, as well as to regulatory regions of several acute-phase and cytokine genes. In addition, the encoded protein can bind the promoter and upstream element and stimulate the expression of the collagen type I gene.[3]
CEBP-beta is critical for normal macrophage functioning, an important immune cell sub-type; mice unable to express CEBP-beta have macrophages that cannot differentiate (specialize) and thus are unable to perform all their biological functions - including macrophage-mediated muscle repair.[4] Observational work has shown that expression of CEBP-beta in blood leukocytes is positively associated with muscle strength in humans,[5] emphasizing the importance of the immune system, and particularly macrophages, in the maintenance of muscle function.
Target genes[edit]
CEBPB is capable of increasing the expression of several target genes. Among them, some have specific role in the nervous system such as the preprotachykinin gene, giving rise to substance P and neurokinin A[6] and the choline acetyltransferase responsible for the biosynthesis of the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.[7] Other targets include genes coding for cytokines such as IL-6,[8] IL-4,[9] IL-5,[10] and TNF-alpha.[11] Genes coding for transporter proteins that confer multidrug resistance to the cells have also been found to be activated by CEBPB. Such genes include ABCC2[12] and ABCB1.[13]
