Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS, MIM 180849) occurs in 1/125 000 births and is characterised by growth retardation and psychomotor developmental delay, broad and duplicated distal phalanges of the thumbs and halluces, typical facial dysmorphism, and an increased risk of neoplasia. RTS has been shown to be associated with chromosomal rearrangements in cytogenetic band 16p13.3, all involving the C...

Insulin resistance and elevated glucagon levels result in nonsuppressible hepatic glucose production and hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. The CREB coactivator complex controls transcription of hepatic gluconeogenic enzyme genes. Here, we show that both the antidiabetic agent metformin and insulin phosphorylate the transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein (CBP) at serine 4...

The class II transactivator (CIITA) is a transcriptional co-activator regulating the constitutive and interferon-gamma-inducible expression of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and related genes. Promoter remodeling occurs following CIITA induction, suggesting the involvement of chromatin remodeling factors. Transcription of numerous genes requires the histone acetyltransferase (H...

The tyrosine kinase c-Src is upregulated in numerous human cancers, implying a role for c-Src in cancer progression. Previously, we have shown that sequestration of activated c-Src into lipid rafts via a transmembrane adaptor, Cbp/PAG1, efficiently suppresses c-Src-induced cell transformation in Csk-deficient cells, suggesting that the transforming activity of c-Src is spatially regulated via C...

[ru(terpy)(bpy)(l)]pf6 complexes, where terpy is 2,2΄:6′,2″– terpyridine, bpy is 2,2΄ - bipyridine and l is monoanions of  4 - bromophenylcyanamide (4 - brpcyd), 4-methoxyphenylcyanamide (4 - meopcyd), 2, 4 - dibromophenylcyanamide (2,4 - br2pcyd), 2,4-dimethylphenylcyanamide (2,4 - me2pcyd), 2 - methylphenylcyanamide  (2 - mepcyd), phenylcyanamide  (pcyd) and naphtylcyanamide  (ncyd)  have bee...

The protein kinase ribosomal S6 kinase 2 (RSK2) has been implicated in phosphorylation of transcription factor CREB and histone H3 in response to mitogenic stimulation by epidermal growth factor. Binding of phospho-CREB to the coactivator CBP allows gene activation through recruitment of the basal transcriptional machinery. Acetylation of H3 by histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activities, such a...

The purpose of this study was to compare 1 repetition maximum (1RM) strength, maximum power (MP), linear momentum (Mp), and the loads of 1RM responsible for maximum power (MP%) and for linear momentum (Mp%) generated in explosive concentric bench press (CBP) motion among athletes from different sports. A total of 56 athletes (13 sprinters, 16 basketball players, 16 handball players, 5 volleybal...

A new cholesterol-binding protein (CBP) has been purified from rat liver cytosol by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. It appears to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and, using antiserum to purified CBP, by Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion analysis, by immunoelectrophoresis, and by SDS gel electroph...

Transcriptional activation of interferon beta (IFN-beta), an antiviral cytokine, requires the assembly of IRF-3 and CBP/p300 at the promoter region of the IFN-beta gene. The crystal structure of IRF-3 in complex with CBP reveals that CBP interacts with a hydrophobic surface on IRF-3, which in latent IRF-3 is covered by its autoinhibitory elements. This structural organization suggests that viru...
