摘要：
Transcription factors derived from CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)alpha and C/EBP beta genes control differentiation and proliferation in a number of cell types. Various C/EBP isoforms arise from unique C/EBP beta and C/EBP alpha mRNAs by differential initiation of translation. These isoforms retain different parts of the amino terminus and therefore display different functions in gene regulation and proliferation control. We show that PKR and mTOR signaling pathways control the ratio of C/EBP isoform expression through the eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF-2 alpha and eIF-4E, respectively. An evolutionary conserved upstream open reading frame in C/EBP alpha and C/EBP beta mRNAs is a prerequisite for regulated initiation from the different translation initiation sites and integrates translation factor activity. Deregulated translational control leading to aberrant C/EBP alpha and C/EBP beta isoform expression or ectopic expression of truncated isoforms disrupts terminal differentiation and induces a transformed phenotype in 3T3-L1 cells. Our results demonstrate that the translational controlled ratio of C/EBP alpha and C/EBP beta isoform expression determines cell fate.
