CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that coordinates proliferation arrest
CC and the differentiation of myeloid progenitors, adipocytes,
CC hepatocytes, and cells of the lung and the placenta. Binds directly to
CC the consensus DNA sequence 5'-T[TG]NNGNAA[TG]-3' acting as an activator
CC on distinct target genes (PubMed:11242107). During early embryogenesis,
CC plays essential and redundant functions with CEBPB. Essential for the
CC transition from common myeloid progenitors (CMP) to
CC granulocyte/monocyte progenitors (GMP). Critical for the proper
CC development of the liver and the lung (By similarity). Necessary for
CC terminal adipocyte differentiation, is required for postnatal
CC maintenance of systemic energy homeostasis and lipid storage (By
CC similarity). To regulate these different processes at the proper moment
CC and tissue, interplays with other transcription factors and modulators.
CC Down-regulates the expression of genes that maintain cells in an
CC undifferentiated and proliferative state through E2F1 repression, which
CC is critical for its ability to induce adipocyte and granulocyte
CC terminal differentiation. Reciprocally E2F1 blocks adipocyte
CC differentiation by binding to specific promoters and repressing CEBPA
CC binding to its target gene promoters. Proliferation arrest also depends
CC on a functional binding to SWI/SNF complex (PubMed:14660596). In liver,
CC regulates gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis through different mechanisms.
CC To regulate gluconeogenesis, functionally cooperates with FOXO1 binding
CC to IRE-controlled promoters and regulating the expression of target
CC genes such as PCK1 or G6PC1. To modulate lipogenesis, interacts and
CC transcriptionally synergizes with SREBF1 in promoter activation of
CC specific lipogenic target genes such as ACAS2. In adipose tissue, seems
CC to act as FOXO1 coactivator accessing to ADIPOQ promoter through FOXO1
CC binding sites (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P05554,
CC ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11242107,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:14660596}.
CC -!- FUNCTION: [Isoform 3]: Can act as dominant-negative. Binds DNA and have
CC transctivation activity, even if much less efficiently than isoform 2.
CC Does not inhibit cell proliferation (PubMed:14660596).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P05554, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P53566,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:14660596}.
CC -!- FUNCTION: [Isoform 4]: Directly and specifically enhances ribosomal DNA
CC transcription interacting with RNA polymerase I-specific cofactors and
CC inducing histone acetylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20075868}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Binds DNA as a homodimer and as a heterodimer. Can form stable
CC heterodimers with CEBPB, CEBPD, CEBPE and CEBPG (By similarity).
CC Interacts with PRDM16 (By similarity). Interacts with UBN1
CC (PubMed:10725330). Interacts with ZNF638; this interaction increases
CC transcriptional activation (By similarity). Interacts with the complex
CC TFDP2:E2F1; the interaction prevents CEBPA binding to target gene
CC promoters and represses its transcriptional activity (PubMed:20176812).
CC Interacts with RB1 (PubMed:15107404). Interacts (when phosphorylated at
CC SER-190) with CDK2, CDK4, E2F4 and SMARCA2 (PubMed:15107404). Interacts
CC with SREBPF1 (By similarity). Interacts with FOXO1 (via the Fork-head
CC domain); the interaction increases when FOXO1 is deacetylated (By
CC similarity). Interacts with SIX1 (PubMed:27923061). Interacts (via
CC recognition sequence) with TRIB1 (PubMed:20410507, PubMed:26455797).
