CREB Phospho-Regulation
Antibody Sampler Kit
CREB (cyclic AMP response element-binding protein) is a stimulus-induced transcription factor that plays pivotal roles in cell survival and proliferation. CREB is expressed in various tissues, and has important gene-regulating roles in the nervous system. The transactivation function of CREB is primarily regulated through Ser-133 phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and related kinases. CREB is phosphorylated at other sites in response to calcium influx and DNA damage. The DNA-damage responsive nuclear kinase, HIPK2, can phosphorylate Ser-271 but not Ser-133 in CREB, and this phosphorylation activates CREB transactivation function. Mutation of Ser-271 to Glu-271 potentiates the CREB transactivation function. Thus, phosphorylation of Ser-271 may be the mode of activation for CREB-dependent transcription in response to genotoxic stress.

Western blot analysis of human A431 cells treated with calyculin A (100 nM) for 30 min. (lanes 1, 3 & 5) then the blots were treated with lambda phosphatase (lanes 2, 4 & 6). The blots were probed with anti-CREB (N-terminal region) (lanes 1 & 2), anti-CREB (Ser-133) (lanes 3 & 4), and anti-CREB (Ser-271) (lanes 5 & 6).
Immunocytochemical labeling of phosphorylated CREB in control and calyculin A-treated A431 cells. The cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using NP-40 before labeling with rabbit polyclonal CREB (Ser-271). The antibody was detected using goat anti-rabbit DyLight® 594.
