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?

Valproic acid regulates catecholaminergic pathways by concentration-dependent threshold effects on TH mRNA synthesis and degradation

TL;DR: Increasing concentrations of VPA demonstrated opposing effects on TH mRNA and protein abundance: elevation of both at low concentrations but attenuation at concentrations higher than 0.5 mM, consistent with a novel and previously unrecognized cellular/molecular drug regulatory step at the level of TH mRNA stability.

Regulation of CRE-dependent transcription by presenilins: prospects for therapy of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Modulation of CRE-dependent transcription might be beneficial for the treatment of dementia in AD through modulation of phosphodiesterase 4 and histone deacetylase inhibitors.

PF-3758309, p21-activated kinase 4 inhibitor, suppresses migration and invasion of A549 human lung cancer cells via regulation of CREB, NF-κB, and β-catenin signalings

TL;DR: It is reported that recently developed p21-activated kinase 4 inhibitor PF-3758309 shows anti-metastatic effect in A549 human lung cancer cell and suppresses CREB, NF-κB, and β-catenin pathways, which are well known to be closely related with cell migration.

Fascin-1 promoter activity is regulated by CREB and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in human carcinoma cells

TL;DR: Novel roles for CREB and AhR are identified as major, specific regulators of FSCN-1 transcription in human carcinoma cells but do not support the hypothesis that β-catenin signaling has a central role.

The soy isoflavone genistein induces estrogen synthesis in an extragonadal pathway.

TL;DR: An extragonadal pathway by which genistein might increase estrogen synthesis is illustrated by demonstrating the involvement of protein kinases in the gene regulation of CYP19.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
