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/EBP is essential for granulocyte development. We present here the
first evidence that C/EBP blocks the function of PU.1. PU.1 and
C/EBP interact physically and colocalize in myeloid cells. As a
consequence of this interaction, C/EBP 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/EBP interacts with the 3/ 4 region in
the DNA-binding domain of PU.1 and as a result displaces the PU.1
coactivator c-Jun. Finally, C/EBP blocks PU.1-induced dendritic cell
development from CD34+ human cord blood cells. The
functional blocking of PU.1 by C/EBP could be the mechanism by which
C/EBP inhibits cell fates specified by PU.1 and directs cell
development to the granulocyte lineage.
