CCAAT增强子结合蛋白β(CCAAT enhancer-binding proteinβ,C/EBPβ)是转录因子C/EBP家族的重要成员。它通过对靶基因转录的调节,参与细胞增殖与分化、肿瘤发生与凋亡、细胞周期调控等重要生命活动,同时这些功能受到磷酸化、乙酰化、泛素化等多种翻译后修饰的调控。本文综述近年来有关C/EBPβ的翻译后修饰的研究进展。这些研究不仅为人们认识C/EBPβ的调控机制提供了一个新的角度,同时也可能为肥胖及相关代谢疾病的发生和治疗提供新的理解。
C/EBPβ(CCAAT enhancer binding proteinβ) is an important transcription factor that belongs to C/EBP family.C/EBPβ plays important roles in numerous cellular responses by regulating the transcription of target genes,including cell proliferation and differentiation,tumorigenesis and apoptosis,and cell cycle regulation,and these functions of C/EBP?β are post-translationally regulated by phosphorylation,acetylation and ubiquitination,etc.In this paper,the research progress of C/EBPβ ?in the translational modification and post-translational modification affecting its biological functions will be reviewed.These researches not only provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of C/EBPβ,but also provide new understanding about the occurring and therapy of obesity and relevant metabolic diseases.
