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?

GLP-2 rapidly activates divergent intracellular signaling pathways involved in intestinal cell survival and proliferation in neonatal piglets.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GLP-2-induced activation of intracellular signals involved in both cell survival and proliferation occurs rapidly and precedes the trophic cellular kinetic effects that occur later in intestinal epithelial cells.

Immunomodulatory properties of pentoxifylline are mediated via adenosine-dependent pathways.

TL;DR: In human PMN leukocytes and T cells, clinically relevant anti-inflammatory effects of PTX can be achieved only in the presence of sufficient adenosine concentrations, which might be a prerequisite for the accessibility of sepsis patients to treatment with PTX.

The 25th Volume: Role of the GATA Family of Transcription Factors in Andrology

TL;DR: The GATA family of zinc finger transcription factors is named from the consensus nucleotide sequence (A/ TGATAA/G) that these factors bind in the promoter regions of target genes.

Prostacylin receptor activation inhibits proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells by regulating cAMP response element-binding protein- and pocket protein-dependent cyclin a gene expression.

TL;DR: It is concluded that PGI2 inhibits proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells by coordinately blocking CRE- and pocket protein-dependent cyclin A gene expression.

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.
