Preadipocyte differentiation in culture is driven by an insulin and cAMP dependant transcriptional cascade which induces the bzip transcription factors C/EBP beta and C/EBP delta. We have previously shown that glucocorticoid treatment, which strongly potentiates this differentiation pathway, stimulates the titration of the corepressor histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) from C/EBP beta. This results in a dramatic enhancement of C/EBP beta-dependent transcription from the C/EBP alpha promoter, concomitant with potentiation of preadipocyte differentiation. Here, we show that C/EBP beta is acetylated by GCN5 and PCAF within a cluster of lysine residues between amino acids 98-102 and that this acetylation is strongly induced by glucocorticoid treatment. Arginine substitution of the lysine residues within the acetylation motif of C/EBP beta prevented acetylation and blocked the ability of glucocorticoids to enhance C/EBP beta-directed transcription and to potentiate C/EBP beta-dependent preadipocyte differentiation. Moreover, acetylation of C/EBP beta appeared to directly interfere with the interaction of HDAC1 with C/EBP beta, suggesting that PCAF/GCN5-dependent acetylation of C/EBP beta serves as an important molecular switch in determining the transcriptional regulatory potential of this transcription factor.
