Also known as C/EBP-alpha
Summary
CEBPA (CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha, HGNC:1833) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.11, encoding CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (P49715). Transcription factor that coordinates proliferation arrest and the differentiation of myeloid progenitors, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and cells of the lung and the placenta. In precision oncology, CEBPA Mutation confers sensitivity to Tretinoin in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (CIViC Level B); 1 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below.
This intronless gene encodes a transcription factor that contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain and recognizes the CCAAT motif in the promoters of target genes. The encoded protein functions in homodimers and also heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins beta and gamma. Activity of this protein can modulate the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation as well as in body weight homeostasis. Mutation of this gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The use of alternative in-frame non-AUG (GUG) and AUG start codons results in protein isoforms with different lengths. Differential translation initiation is mediated by an out-of-frame, upstream open reading frame which is located between the GUG and the first AUG start codons.

Function. Transcription factor that coordinates proliferation arrest and the differentiation of myeloid progenitors, adipocytes, hepatocytes, and cells of the lung and the placenta. Binds directly to the consensus DNA sequence 5’-T[TG]NNGNAA[TG]-3’ acting as an activator on distinct target genes. During early embryogenesis, plays essential and redundant functions with CEBPB. Essential for the transition from common myeloid progenitors (CMP) to granulocyte/monocyte progenitors (GMP). Critical for the proper development of the liver and the lung. Necessary for terminal adipocyte differentiation, is required for postnatal maintenance of systemic energy homeostasis and lipid storage. To regulate these different processes at the proper moment and tissue, interplays with other transcription factors and modulators. Down-regulates the expression of genes that maintain cells in an undifferentiated and proliferative state through E2F1 repression, which is critical for its ability to induce adipocyte and granulocyte terminal differentiation. Reciprocally E2F1 blocks adipocyte differentiation by binding to specific promoters and repressing CEBPA binding to its target gene promoters. Proliferation arrest also depends on a functional binding to SWI/SNF complex. In liver, regulates gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis through different mechanisms. To regulate gluconeogenesis, functionally cooperates with FOXO1 binding to IRE-controlled promoters and regulating the expression of target genes such as PCK1 or G6PC1. To modulate lipogenesis, interacts and transcriptionally synergizes with SREBF1 in promoter activation of specific lipogenic target genes such as ACAS2. In adipose tissue, seems to act as FOXO1 coactivator accessing to ADIPOQ promoter through FOXO1 binding sites. Can act as dominant-negative. Binds DNA and have transctivation activity, even if much less efficiently than isoform 2. Does not inhibit cell proliferation. Directly and specifically enhances ribosomal DNA transcription interacting with RNA polymerase I-specific cofactors and inducing histone acetylation.
Subunit / interactions. Binds DNA as a homodimer and as a heterodimer. Can form stable heterodimers with CEBPB, CEBPD, CEBPE and CEBPG. Interacts with PRDM16. Interacts with UBN1. Interacts with ZNF638; this interaction increases transcriptional activation. Interacts with the complex TFDP2:E2F1; the interaction prevents CEBPA binding to target gene promoters and represses its transcriptional activity. Interacts with RB1. Interacts (when phosphorylated at Ser-190) with CDK2, CDK4, E2F4 and SMARCA2. Interacts with SREBPF1. Interacts with FOXO1 (via the Fork-head domain); the interaction increases when FOXO1 is deacetylated. Interacts with SIX1. Interacts (via recognition sequence) with TRIB1. Interacts (via bZIP domain) with OVOL2 (via zinc-finger domains); the interaction inhibits the transcription factor activity of CEBPA and is required to repress adipogenesis. Interacts with TAF1A and UBTF. Interacts with TAF1A and UBTF. Interacts with NPM1. (Microbial infection) Interacts with HBV protein X. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus lytic switch protein BZLF1; this interaction induces G1 cell cycle arrest.
Subcellular location. Nucleus Nucleus. Nucleolus.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Ser-190 is required for interaction with CDK2, CDK4 and SWI/SNF complex leading to cell cycle inhibition. Dephosphorylated at Ser-190 by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway regulation. Phosphorylation at Thr-226 and Thr-230 by GSK3 is constitutive in adipose tissue and lung. In liver, both Thr-226 and Thr-230 are phosphorylated only during feeding but not during fasting. Phosphorylation of the GSK3 consensus sites selectively decreases transactivation activity on IRE-controlled promoters. Sumoylated, sumoylation blocks the inhibitory effect on cell proliferation by disrupting the interaction with SMARCA2. Ubiquitinated by COP1 upon interaction with TRIB1.
Disease relevance. Leukemia, acute myelogenous (AML) [MIM:601626] A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The recognition sequence (54-72) is required for interaction with TRIB1.
Similarity. Belongs to the bZIP family. C/EBP subfamily.

Disease & clinical
Cancer significance
From CIViC — curated cancer-variant interpretation:
‘AML with mutated CEBPA’ is a provisional entity in the WHO classification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is recommended to be tested for in patients with AML. CEBPA mutations are particularly associated with cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML). CEBPA is an intronless gene that is required for granulocyte formation in mice. N-terminal nonsense mutations result in a dominant negative C/EBP-alpha protein while C-terminal mutations reduce the DNA-binding potential of this transcription factor. CEBPA mutations are associated with a favorable prognosis, however, NPM1 and FLT3 mutations should also be assessed in CN-AML patients as concurrent mutations may have prognostic implications.
From intOGen — cancer-driver classification: activating (oncogene-like) across 1 cancer types — AML.
