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?

Preconditioning Doses of NMDA Promote Neuroprotection by Enhancing Neuronal Excitability

TL;DR: Exposure to low preconditioning doses of NMDA results in preferential activation of synaptic NMDA receptors because of a dramatic increase in action potential firing, in apparent contradiction with recent findings that extrasynaptic NMDA receptor signaling exerts a dominant inhibitory effect on prosurvival signaling from synapticNMDA receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does cAMP response element-binding protein have a pivotal role in hippocampal synaptic plasticity and hippocampus-dependent memory?

TL;DR: It is indicated that in the adult mouse brain, loss of CREB neither prevents learning nor substantially affects performance in some hippocampus-dependent tasks, and it spares LTP and LTD in paradigms that are sensitive enough to detect deficits in other mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of CREB as a proto-oncogene in hematopoiesis and in acute myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: It is reported that CREB is implicated in myeloid cell transformation, a transcription factor that functions in glucose homeostasis, growth factor-dependent cell survival, and memory that is associated with increased risk of relapse and decreased event-free survival.

Regulation and function of immediate-early genes in the brain: beyond neuronal activity markers.

TL;DR: An overview of the history and recent work on regulation and function of neuronal immediate-early genes, including Arc/arg3.1, is presented, in which various immediate- early genes underlie several distinct processes required for long-term synaptic changes and memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coupling of the NMDA receptor to neuroprotective and neurodestructive events.

TL;DR: Increased understanding in this field is leading to the discovery of new therapeutic targets and strategies for excitotoxic disorders, as well as a growing appreciation of the harmful consequences of NMDA receptor blockade.

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.
