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?

Transcriptional regulation of long-term memory in the marine snail Aplysia.

TL;DR: The core molecular features of transcriptional regulation involved in the long-term process are evolutionally conserved in Aplysia, Drosophila, and mouse, and indicate that gene regulation by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase acting in conjunction with different combinations of transcriptionAL factors is critical for the expression of many forms of long- term memory.

Salt-inducible kinase-1 represses cAMP response element-binding protein activity both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the RK-rich region of SIK1 is important for determining the nuclear localization and attenuating CREB-repressing activity, but the degree of thenuclear localization of Sik1 itself does not necessarily reflect the degreeof SIK 1-mediated CREB repression.

Enhanced CREB and DARPP‐32 phosphorylation in the nucleus accumbens and CREB, ERK, and GluR1 phosphorylation in the dorsal hippocampus is associated with cocaine‐conditioned place preference behavior

TL;DR: Western blot analysis suggests that the formation of contextual drug reward associations involves recruitment of the DHC‐NAc circuit with activation of the DARPP‐32/CREB pathway in the NAc and the ERK/CREb pathway inThe DHC.

Proteomics and systems biology approaches to signal transduction in sepsis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that an integrative approach involving functional proteomics will provide a quantitative and mechanistic description that unifies inflammatory signaling networks in sepsis and will identify critical regulatory nodes for therapeutic manipulation.

Glucose Metabolism in Cancer IMPORTANCE OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR-DNA INTERACTIONS WITHIN A SHORT SEGMENT OF THE PROXIMAL REGION OF THE TYPE II HEXOKINASE PROMOTER

TL;DR: These findings implicate signaling pathways directed to a short segment of the proximal region of the HKII promoter as major contributors to HKII overexpression in many cancers.

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.

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.
