Role of the Leucine Zipper Domain of CCAAT/ Enhancer Binding Protein-Epsilon (C/EBPε) in Neutrophil-Specific Granule Deficiency
SINOPSIS
Neutrophil-specific granule deficiency (SGD) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by bilobed neutrophil nuclei and lack of neutrophil-specific granule proteins such as lactoferrin. A deficiency of a myeloid-specific transcription factor, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-epsilon (C/EBPε), has been identified as a cause of SGD. C/EBPε binds to DNA though its basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain, and regulates terminal differentiation of neutrophils and expression of specific granule genes. Homozygous frameshift mutations resulting in loss of the bZIP domain have been reported in two patients with SGD. A recent observation showed that a homozygous 2-aa deletion in the bZIP domain with normal DNA-binding and dimerization abilities causes SGD by impairing protein−protein interactions with other transcription factors, indicating that multiple molecular mechanisms can lead to SGD. Studies of patient-derived mutations and analysis of C/EBPε knockout mice have shown the importance of the bZIP domain for the essential functions of C/EBPε.
