To investigate the role of cAMP resposive element binding protein (CREB)-dependent gene expression in morphine induced behaviors, we examined bitransgenic mice expressing a dominant and strong inhibitor of the CREB family of transcription factors, A-CREB,

Gem-induced cytoskeleton remodeling increases cellular migration of HTLV-1-infected cells, formation of infected-to-target T-cell conjugates and viral transmission [PDF]
Efficient HTLV-1 viral transmission occurs through cell-to-cell contacts. The Tax viral transcriptional activator protein facilitates this process. Using a comparative transcriptomic analysis, we recently identified a series of genes up-regulated in HTLV-

CREB-binding Protein/p300 Co-activation of Crystallin Gene Expression [PDF]
Although some of the transcription factors that are required for expression of crystallins during lens development have been identified, the molecular interactions that contribute to enhanced crystallin expression are not yet well defined. In this study, we designed experiments to test whether the co-activators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and/or p300 ...

The dynamic properties of a nuclear coactivator binding domain are evolutionarily conserved
Reconstruction of an ancient nuclear coactivator binding domain (NCBD) of CREB-binding protein from a bilaterian animal ancestor living 600 million years ago reveals conserved dynamic properties in human NCBD.

A zinc transporter gene required for development of the nervous system. [PDF]
The essentiality of zinc for normal brain development is well established. It has been suggested that primary and secondary zinc deficiencies can contribute to the occurrence of numerous human birth defects, including many involving the central nervous ...

Prothymosin α interacts with the CREB‐binding protein and potentiates transcription [PDF]
Prothymosin α (ProTα) is a histone H1‐binding protein localized in sites of active transcription in the nucleus. We report here that ProTα physically interacts with the CREB‐binding protein (CBP), which is a versatile transcription co‐activator. Confocal laser scanning microscopy reveals that ProTα partially colocalizes with CBP in discrete subnuclear ...

p38α MAPK regulates proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast progenitors and bone remodeling in an aging-dependent manner. [PDF]
Bone mass is determined by the balance between bone formation, carried out by mesenchymal stem cell-derived osteoblasts, and bone resorption, carried out by monocyte-derived osteoclasts.

Complex regulation of CREB-binding protein by homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 [PDF]
CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300 are transcriptional coactivators involved in numerous biological processes that affect cell growth, transformation, differentiation, and development. In this study, we provide evidence of the involvement of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) in the regulation of CBP activity.
