CREB1
CREB1 (CAMP Responsive Element Binding Protein 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CREB1 include Histiocytoma, Angiomatoid Fibrous and Melanoma Of Soft Tissue. Among its related pathways are Apoptotic Pathways in Synovial Fibroblasts and DAG and IP3 signaling. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include DNA binding transcription factor activity and enzyme binding. An important paralog of this gene is CREM.
Full Name
CAMP Responsive Element Binding Protein 1
Alternative Names
CAMP Responsive Element Binding Protein 1; CREB-1; Cyclic Adenosine 3,5-Monophosphate Response Element-Binding Protein CREB; Cyclic AMP-Responsive Element-Binding Protein 1; CAMP-Responsive Element-Binding Protein 1; CAMP-Response Element-Binding Protein-1; Active Transcription Factor CREB; Transactivator Protein; CREB;
Function
Phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that stimulates transcription upon binding to the DNA cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Transcription activation is enhanced by the TORC coactivators which act independently of Ser-119 phosphorylation. Involved in different cellular processes including the synchronization of circadian rhythmicity and the differentiation of adipose cells.

Involvement in disease
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH):
The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. A chromosomal aberration involving CREB1 is found in a patient with angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. Translocation t(2;22)(q33;q12) with CREB1 generates a EWSR1/CREB1 fusion gene that is most common genetic abnormality in this tumor type. A distinct variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that typically occurs in children and adolescents and is manifest by nodular subcutaneous growth. Characteristic microscopic features include lobulated sheets of histiocyte-like cells intimately associated with areas of hemorrhage and cystic pseudovascular spaces, as well as a striking cuffing of inflammatory cells, mimicking a lymph node metastasis.
PTM
timulated by phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of both Ser-119 and Ser-128 in the SCN regulates the activity of CREB and participates in circadian rhythm generation. Phosphorylation of Ser-119 allows CREBBP binding. In liver, phosphorylation is induced by fasting or glucagon in a circadian fashion (By similarity). CREBL2 positively regulates phosphorylation at Ser-119 thereby stimulating CREB1 transcriptional activity (By similarity). Phosphorylated upon calcium influx by CaMK4 and CaMK2 on Ser-119. CaMK4 is much more potent than CaMK2 in activating CREB. Phosphorylated by CaMK2 on Ser-128. Phosphorylation of Ser-128 blocks CREB-mediated transcription even when Ser-119 is phosphorylated. Phosphorylated by CaMK1 (By similarity). Phosphorylation of Ser-257 by HIPK2 in response to genotoxic stress promotes CREB1 activity, facilitating the recruitment of the coactivator CBP. Phosphorylated at Ser-119 by RPS6KA3, RPS6KA4 and RPS6KA5 in response to mitogenic or stress stimuli. Phosphorylated by TSSK4 on Ser-119 (PubMed:15964553).
Sumoylated with SUMO1. Sumoylation on Lys-290, but not on Lys-271, is required for nuclear localization of this protein. Sumoylation is enhanced under hypoxia, promoting nuclear localization and stabilization.
