To further understand pathways coordinating the expression of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, we studied mitochondrial biogenesis during differentiation of myoblasts to myotubes. This energy-demanding process was accompanied by a fivefold increase of ATP turnover, covered by an eightfold increase of mitochondrial activity. While no change in mitochondrial DNA copy number was observed, mRNAs; as well as proteins for nucleus-encoded cytochrome c, cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV, and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) increased, together with total cellular RNA and protein levels. Detailed analysis of the cytochrome c promoter by luciferase reporter, binding affinity, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays as well as mutagenesis studies revealed a critical role for cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB-1) for promoter activation. Expression of two CREB-1 isoforms was observed by using specific antibodies and quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and a shift from phosphorylated CREB-1 Delta in myoblasts to phosphorylated CREB-1 alpha protein in myotubes was shown, while mRNA ratios remained unchanged. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays confirmed preferential binding of CREB-lot in situ to the cytochrome c promoter in myotubes. Overexpression of constitutively active and dominant-negative forms supported the key role of CREB-1 in regulating the expression of genes encoding mitochondrial proteins during myogenesis and probably also in other situations of enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis.
