Diazepam-binding inhibitor/acyl-CoA-binding protein (DBI/ACBP), a highly conserved 10-kDa polypeptide, has been implicated in various physiological processes including gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor binding, acyl-CoA binding and transport, steroidogenesis, and peptide hormone release. Both in LNCaP prostate cancer cells and 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, the expression of DBI/ACBP is stimulated under conditions that promote lipogenesis (treatment with androgens and insulin, respectively) and that involve the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs). Accordingly, we investigated whether DBI/ACBP expression is under the direct control of SREBPs. Analysis of the human and rat DBI/ACBP promoter revealed the presence of a conserved sterol regulatory element (SRE)-like sequence. Gel shift analysis confirmed that this sequence is able to bind SREBPs. In support of the functionality of SREBP binding, coexpression of SREBP-1a with a DBI/ACBP promoter-reporter gene resulted in a 50-fold increase in transcriptional activity in LNCaP cells. Disruption of the SRE decreased basal expression and abolished SREBP-1a-induced transcriptional activation. In agreement with the requirement of a co-regulator for SREBP function, transcriptional activation by SREBP-1a overexpression was severely diminished when a neighboring NF-Y site was mutated. Cholesterol depletion or androgen treatment, conditions that activate SREBP function in LNCaP cells, led to an increase in DBI/ACBP mRNA expression and SRE-dependent transcriptional activation. These findings indicate that the promoter for DBI/ACBP contains a functional SRE that allows DBI/ACBP to be coregulated with other genes involved in lipid metabolism.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
