Anti-CREB1 Antibody [KO Validated] (CAB10826)

Subunit structure: Interacts with PPRC1. Binds DNA as a dimer. This dimer is stabilized by magnesium ions. Interacts, through the bZIP domain, with the coactivators TORC1/CRTC1, TORC2/CRTC2 and TORC3/CRTC3. When phosphorylated on Ser-133, binds CREBBP

By similarity. Interacts (phosporylated form) with TOX3. Interacts with ARRB1. Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15 Ref.16 Ref.20

Subcellular location: Nucleus Ref.12.

Post-translational modification: Stimulated by phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of both Ser-133 and Ser-142 in the SCN regulates the activity of CREB and participates in circadian rhythm generation. Phosphorylation of Ser-133 allows CREBBP binding

By similarity. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Ref.10 Ref.17 Ref.19Sumoylated by SUMO1. Sumoylation on Lys-304, but not on Lys-285, is required for nuclear localization of this protein. Sumoylation is enhanced under hypoxia, promoting nuclear localization and stabilization. Ref.12

Involvement in Disease: Defects in CREB1 may be a cause of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) [

MIM:612160]. 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. Note=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.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the bZIP family.Contains 1 bZIP domain.Contains 1 KID (kinase-inducible) domain.
