CBP Histone Acetyltransferase Activity Is a Critical Component of Memory Consolidation
The stabilization of learned information into long-term memories requires new gene expression. CREB binding protein (CBP) is a coactivator of transcription that can be independently regulated in neurons. CBP functions both as a platform for recruiting other required components of the transcriptional machinery and as a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) that alters chromatin structure. To dissect t...
متن کاملThe HOX homeodomain proteins block CBP histone acetyltransferase activity.
Despite the identification of PBC proteins as cofactors that provide DNA affinity and binding specificity for the HOX homeodomain proteins, HOX proteins do not demonstrate robust activity in transient-transcription assays and few authentic downstream targets have been identified for these putative transcription factors. During a search for additional cofactors, we established that each of the 1...
متن کاملThe SV40 T antigen modulates CBP histone acetyltransferase activity.
Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) play a key role in transcription control, cell proliferation and differentiation by modulating chromatin structure; however, little is known about their own regulation. Here we show that expression of the viral oncoprotein SV40 T antigen increases histone acetylation and global cellular HAT activities. In addition, it enhances CREB-binding protein HAT activity ...
متن کاملAlcohol-Induced Neuroadaptation Is Orchestrated by the Histone Acetyltransferase CBP
Homeostatic neural adaptations to alcohol underlie the production of alcohol tolerance and the associated symptoms of withdrawal. These adaptations have been shown to persist for relatively long periods of time and are believed to be of central importance in promoting the addictive state. In Drosophila, a single exposure to alcohol results in long-lasting alcohol tolerance and symptoms of withd...
متن کاملThe acetyltransferase activity of CBP stimulates transcription.
The CBP co-activator protein possesses an intrinsic acetyltransferase (AT) activity capable of acetylating nucleosomal histones, as well as other proteins such as the transcription factors TFIIE and TFIIF. In addition, CBP associates with two other TSs, P/CAF and SRC1. We set out to establish whether the intrinsic AT activity of CBP contributes to transcriptional activation. We show that a regi...
