Ebp1, an ErbB3 receptor-binding protein, inhibits the proliferation and induces the differentiation of human cancer cells. Ebp1 binds nuclear Akt and prevents DNA fragmentation by inhibiting caspase-activated DNase. Here, we show that Ebp1 possesses two different isoforms, p48 and p42, which differentially mediate PC12 cell survival and differentiation. The longer-form p48 localizes in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and suppresses apoptosis, whereas the shorter-form p42 predominantly resides in the cytoplasm and promotes cell differentiation. EGF strongly stimulates p42 to bind ErbB3, and the association depends on PKC-mediated phosphorylation of Ebp1. By contrast, p48 does not bind to ErbB3 regardless of EGF treatment. Overexpression of p48 provokes cell proliferation, which is inhibited by p42. Moreover, nerve growth factor elicits extensive sprouting in p42 stably transfected PC12 cells, whereas p48 cells reveal modest neurite outgrowth. Although mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade remains similar in both cells, Akt is more active in p48 cells than in p42 cells. Thus, Ebp1 might regulate cell survival and differentiation through two distinctive p48 and p42 isoforms.
