Transcription factor CREB regulates cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent gene expression by binding to and activating transcription from cAMP response elements (CREs) in the promoters of target genes. The transcriptional transactivation functions of CREB are activated by its phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). In studies of many different phenotypically distinct cells, the CRE of the somatostatin gene promoter is a prototype of a highly cAMP-responsive element regulated by CREB. We now report on a somatostatin-producing rat insulinoma cell line, RIN-1027-B2, in which transcription from the somatostatin gene promoter is paradoxically repressed by CREB. We find that CREB fails to transactivate a CRE-containing somatostatin-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter even when coexpressed with the catalytic subunit of PKA. CAAT box/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBP beta) and C/EBP-related activating transcription factor bind to the CRE in the promoter of the somatostatin gene and transactivate transcription. CREB binds competitively with C/EBP beta to the somatostatin CRE in vitro and represses C/EBP beta-induced transcription of the CRE-containing somatostatin-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter. The lack of CREB-mediated transcriptional stimulation is due to the presence of a heat-stable inhibitor of PKA that prevents activation of PKA and subsequent CREB phosphorylation in the nucleus. These findings indicate that dephosphorylated CREB is a negative regulator of C/EBP-activated transcription of the somatostatin gene promoter in RIN-1027-B2 cells.

When Escherichia coli K-12 Hfr.H was induced to synthesize β-galactosidase in the presence of glucose, an untranslated lactose-specific mRNA (lac-mRNA), protected from decay, was found to accumulate progressively within the cells. The lac-mRNA accumulation was unaffected by the carbon source on which the cells had been grown before the induction. The amount of the lac-mRNA available for translation was affected by catabolite repression and 3′:5′-cyclic AMP, but it remained unclear whether this was a direct effect on the formation of the lac-mRNA or a consequence of the effect on its translation.
