TLDR
A conserved family of coactivators, designated TORCs, for Transducers of Regulated CREB activity, that enhances CRE-dependent transcription via a phosphorylation-independent interaction with the bZIP DNA binding/dimerization domain of CREB is characterized.

The CREB coactivator TORC2 is a key regulator of fasting glucose metabolism

TL;DR: It is shown that hormonal and energy-sensing pathways converge on the coactivator TORC2 (transducer of regulated CREB activity 2) to modulate glucose output and compounds that enhanceTORC2 phosphorylation may offer therapeutic benefits in this setting.

Notch signaling: simplicity in design, versatility in function

TL;DR: Recent studies in nematodes, Drosophila and vertebrate systems that begin to shed light on how versatility in Notch signaling output is generated, how signal strength is modulated, and how cross-talk between the Notch pathway and other intracellular signaling systems, such as the Wnt, hypoxia and BMP pathways, contributes to signaling diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREB and the CRTC co-activators: sensors for hormonal and metabolic signals.

TL;DR: A dual requirement for CREB phosphorylation and CRTC dephosphorylation is likely to explain how these activator–co-activator cognates discriminate between different stimuli.

A cAMP-response element binding protein-induced microRNA regulates neuronal morphogenesis

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that miR132 regulates neuronal morphogenesis by decreasing levels of the GTPase-activating protein, p250GAP, which reveals that a CREB-regulated miRNA regulates neuronal Morphogenesis by responding to extrinsic trophic cues.

Cyclic AMP stimulates somatostatin gene transcription by phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133

TL;DR: Results suggest that phosphorylation of CREB may stimulate transcription by a mechanism other than by simply providing negative charge, as CREB mutants containing acidic residues in place of the Ser-133 phosphoacceptor were also transcriptionally inactive.

Phosphorylated CREB binds specifically to the nuclear protein CBP

TL;DR: It is proposed that CBP may participate in cAMP-regulated gene expression by interacting with the activated phosphorylated form of CREB, which is activated as a result of phosphorylation by protein kinase A7.

A DNA Vector-Based RNAi Technology to Suppress Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells

TL;DR: This work reports a technology that allows synthesis of small interfering RNAs from DNA templates in vivo to efficiently inhibit endogenous gene expression and demonstrates robust inhibition of several endogenous genes of diverse functions in mammalian cells.
