THE HUMAN ONCODEVELOPMENTAL PROTEIN GLI INTERACTS WITH GLI AND WITH CREB-BINDING PROTEIN. † 306

The heterotrimeric kinesin-2 complex interacts with and regulates GLI protein function.

GLI transport to the primary cilium and nucleus is required for proper Hedgehog (HH) signaling; however, the mechanisms that mediate these trafficking events are poorly understood. Kinesin-2 motor proteins regulate ciliary transport of cargo, yet their role in GLI protein function remains unexplored. To examine a role for the heterotrimeric KIF3A-KIF3B-KAP3 kinesin-2 motor complex in regulating...

The Huntington's disease protein interacts with p53 and CREB-binding protein and represses transcription.

Huntington's Disease (HD) is caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract within the huntingtin (htt) protein. Pathogenesis in HD appears to include the cytoplasmic cleavage of htt and release of an amino-terminal fragment capable of nuclear localization. We have investigated potential consequences to nuclear function of a pathogenic amino-terminal region of htt (httex1p) including aggregati...

CREB-binding Protein Interacts with the Homeodomain Protein Cdx2 and Enhances Transcriptional Activity*

Cdx2 encodes for a homeodomain protein that is expressed in intestinal epithelial cells. The Cdx2 protein triggers intestinal differentiation in cell lines and is necessary for maintenance of the intestinal phenotype in mice. CBP (CREB-binding protein) is a transcriptional co-activator that interacts with many transcription factors and components of the basal transcriptional machinery. In this ...

hev-capsid protein interacts with cytochrome p4502c8 and retinol-binding protein 4

Identification of a novel SNF2/SWI2 protein family member, SRCAP, which interacts with CREB-binding protein.

The ability of cAMP response-element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) to function as a co-activator for a number of transcription factors appears to be mediated by its ability to act as a histone acetyltransferase and through its interaction with a number of other proteins (general transcription factors, histone acetyltransferases, and other co-activators). Here we report that CBP a...
