HEMATOPOIESIS

Granulocyte inducer C/EBPalpha inactivates the myeloid master regulator PU.1: possible role in lineage commitment decisions

Venkateshwar A. Reddy, Atsushi Iwama, Guergana Iotzova, Mathias Schulz, Annika Elsasser, Rajani K. Vangala, Daniel G. Tenen, Wolfgang Hiddemann, and Gerhard Behre

From the Department of Medicine III, Ludwig-Maximilians-University and GSF-National Research Center for Environment and Health, Munich, Germany; Department of Immunology, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Tsukuba Ibaraki, Japan; and Harvard Institutes of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

Several transcription factors have been implicated as playing a role in myelopoiesis. PU.1, an ets-family transcription factor, is required for the development of myeloid and lymphoid lineages, whereas the transcription factor CCAAT-enhancer binding protein family member C/EBPalpha is essential for granulocyte development. We present here the first evidence that C/EBPalpha blocks the function of PU.1. PU.1 and C/EBPalpha interact physically and colocalize in myeloid cells. As a consequence of this interaction, C/EBPalpha can inhibit the function of PU.1 to activate a minimal promoter containing only PU.1 DNA-binding sites. We further demonstrate that the leucine zipper in the DNA-binding domain of C/EBPalpha interacts with the beta 3/beta 4 region in the DNA-binding domain of PU.1 and as a result displaces the PU.1 coactivator c-Jun. Finally, C/EBPalpha blocks PU.1-induced dendritic cell development from CD34+ human cord blood cells. The functional blocking of PU.1 by C/EBPalpha could be the mechanism by which C/EBPalpha inhibits cell fates specified by PU.1 and directs cell development to the granulocyte lineage.
