TLDR
The transcription factor CREB functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and has been implicated in learning and memory, and how is specificity achieved in these signalling pathways?
Abstract
The transcription factor CREB -- for 'cyclic AMP response element-binding protein' -- functions in glucose homeostasis, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and has been implicated in learning and memory. CREB is phosphorylated in response to various signals, but how is specificity achieved in these signalling pathways?

A GNAS Mutation Found in Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms Induces Drastic Alterations of Gene Expression Profiles with Upregulation of Mucin Genes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined in vitro phenotypes of cells of pancreatic ductal lineage, HPDE, PK-8, PCI-35 and MIA PaCa-2, with exogenous expression of either wild-type or mutated (R201H) GNAS.

Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry Activates the CREB Transcription Factor in Vascular Smooth Muscle

TL;DR: It is reported that SOCE activates CREB in both cultured smooth muscle cells and intact arteries, and indicates that Ca2+ entry through store-operated Ca2-operated channels leads to CREB activation, suggesting that SOCe contributes to the regulation of gene expression in vascular smooth muscle.

Role of basic region leucine zipper transcription factors cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB), CREB2, activating transcription factor 2 and CAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha in cyclic AMP response element-mediated transcription.

TL;DR: Experiments involving dominant‐negative bZIP mutants revealed that CREB does not heterodimerize with CREB2, ATF2, c‐Jun or C/EBP; rather, CREB and ATF2 compete for binding to the CRE, and are independently able to up‐regulate transcription of genes containing CRE motifs in their regulatory regions.

Cycloastragenol is a potent telomerase activator in neuronal cells: implications for depression management.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CAG stimulates telomerase activity and cell proliferation in human neonatal keratinocytes and rat neuronal cells, and induces CREB activation followed by tert and bcl2 expression, and may have a novel therapeutic role in depression.

Active CREB1 Promotes a Malignant TGFβ2 Autocrine Loop in Glioblastoma

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms responsible for the aberrantly high levels of TGFβ2 found in certain tumors are discerned, and biomarkers to predict the clinical response to anti-TGFβ therapies are proposed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell survival promoted by the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway by transcription-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the MAPK signaling pathway promotes cell survival by a dual mechanism comprising the posttranslational modification and inactivation of a component of the cell death machinery and the increased transcription of pro-survival genes.

Deficient long-term memory in mice with a targeted mutation of the cAMP-responsive element-binding protein

TL;DR: Consistent with models claiming a role for long-term potentiation (LTP) in memory, LTP in hippocampal slices from CREB mutants decayed to baseline 90 min after tetanic stimulation, however, paired-pulse facilitation and posttetanic potentiation are normal.

Nuclear protein CBP is a coactivator for the transcription factor CREB

TL;DR: Fluorescence anisotropy measurements are used to define the equi-librium binding parameters of the phosphoCREB:CBP interaction and report here that CBP can activate transcription through a region in its carboxy terminus.
