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?

Direct Targeting of CREB1 with Imperatorin Inhibits TGFβ2-ERK Signaling to Suppress Esophageal Cancer Metastasis.

TL;DR: The findings suggest the use of TGFβ2 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ESCC, and supports the potential of imperatorin as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer metastasis.

Regulation of T cell activation by HIV-1 accessory proteins: Vpr acts via distinct mechanisms to cooperate with Nef in NFAT-directed gene expression and to promote transactivation by CREB.

TL;DR: Results provide additional evidence for cell cycle-independent regulation of gene expression by Vpr and implicate CREB as a potentially important target for Vpr action in HIV-infected host cells.

Molecular mechanism of endocrine-disruptive effects induced by Bisphenol A: The role of transmembrane G-protein estrogen receptor 1 and integrin αvβ3

TL;DR: It is found that membrane G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 and integrin αvβ3 and its relative signal pathways participate in the induction of male germ cell proliferation and thyroid transcription disruption by the low-dose BPA.

The Theoretical Basis of Transcriptional Therapy of Cancer: Can It Be Put Into Practice?

TL;DR: A framework is provided for the clinical or translational scientist to consider how therapeutic agents can be engineered to specifically target aberrant epigenetic silencing in cancer and what their impact might be on restoring cells to normal genetic programming.

The integral membrane protein ITM2A, a transcriptional target of PKA-CREB, regulates autophagic flux via interaction with the vacuolar ATPase

TL;DR: The notion that PKA-CREB signaling pathway regulates ITM2A expression, which negatively regulates autophagic flux by interfering with the function of v-ATPase, is supported.

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.
