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?read more

MicroRNA and Adipogenesis
TL;DR: In obesity, the process of adipogenesis largely determines the number of adipocytes in body fat depots, and development of lipid droplets, macrophage accumulation, Macrophage polarization, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 activity, lipolysis, lipotoxicity and insulin resistance are effectively controlled by miRNAs.

Epigenetic regulation of persistent pain
Guang Bai,Ke Ren,Ronald Dubner +2 more
TL;DR: Recent animal model and clinical studies indicate that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in the development or maintenance of persistent pain and possibly the transition of acute pain to chronic pain, thus shedding light in a direction for development of new therapeutics for persistent pain.

Promoter-specific functions of CIITA and the MHC class II enhanceosome in transcriptional activation
Krzysztof Masternak,Walter Reith +1 more
TL;DR: The results support the general notion that the impact of a particular activator on transcription in vivo may vary depending on the promoter and the chromatin context.

Novel function of β-arrestin2 in the nucleus of mature spermatozoa
TL;DR: Analysis of the interaction partners of β-arrestin2 indicates that odorant receptor signaling in spermatozoa may be important for the regulation of gene expression during the early processes of fertilization.

Glutathione redox cycle dysregulation in Huntington’s disease knock-in striatal cells
Márcio Ribeiro,Tatiana R. Rosenstock,Teresa Cunha-Oliveira,Ildete L. Ferreira,Catarina R. Oliveira,A. Cristina Rego +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the glutathione system in striatal cells derived from HD knock-in mice expressing mutant Htt versus wild-type cells suggests that boosting of GSH-related antioxidant defense mechanisms induced by FL-mHtt is insufficient to counterbalance increased ROS formation and emergent apoptotic features in HDstriatal cells.

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
John C. Chrivia,Roland P. S. Kwok,Ned J.C. Lamb,Masatoshi Hagiwara,Marc Montminy,Richard H. Goodman +5 more
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.

Cell survival promoted by the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway by transcription-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
Azad Bonni,Anne Brunet,Anne E. West,Sandeep Robert Datta,Mari A. Takasu,Michael E. Greenberg +5 more
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
Roussoudan Bourtchuladze,Bruno G. Frenguelli,Julie A. Blendy,Diana Cioffi,Günther Schütz,Alcino J. Silva +5 more
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.
