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?

TORC1 Regulates Activity-Dependent CREB-Target Gene Transcription and Dendritic Growth of Developing Cortical Neurons

TL;DR: It is reported that the CREB coactivator TORC1 (transducer of regulated CREB 1) is required for activity-dependent CREB-target gene expression and dendrite growth in developing cortical neurons and SIK1 induction appears to act as a negative feedback signal that prevents persistent CREB/TORC1-dependent transcription in the face of long-lasting neuronal activity.

Clustering gene expression time series data using an infinite Gaussian process mixture model.

TL;DR: This work presents a nonparametric model-based method, Dirichlet process Gaussian process mixture model (DPGP), which jointly models data clusters with a Dirich let process and temporal dependencies with Gaussian processes and demonstrates that jointly modeling cluster number and temporal dependency can reveal shared regulatory mechanisms.

Transforming activity of the MECT1-MAML2 fusion oncoprotein is mediated by constitutive CREB activation

TL;DR: In this article, a specific recurring chromosome translocation is associated with two types of salivary gland tumors, mucoepidermoid carcinomas and Warthin's tumors, and identified potential targets for the development of novel therapies.

MAP kinases as structural adaptors and enzymatic activators in transcription complexes

TL;DR: Evidence that suggests a similar bifunctional role for MAPKs in mammalian transcription complexes is reviewed, including Hog1p MAPK is stably recruited to target promoters by specific transcription factors in response to osmotic stress, and acts as both a structural adaptor and enzymatic activator driving the assembly and activation of the transcription complex.

Thioredoxin as a neurotrophic cofactor and an important regulator of neuroprotection.

TL;DR: Thioredoxin appears to be a neurotrophic cofactor that augments the effect of NGF on neuronal differentiation and regeneration and acts also as a neuronal survival factor.

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.
