Abstract excerpt
Basic region leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins represent a class of transcription factors that bind DNA using a simple, dimeric, alpha-helical recognition motif. The cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) is a member of the CREB/ATF subfamily of bZIP proteins. CREB discriminates effectively in vivo and in vitro between the 10 bp cAMP response element (ATGACGTCAT, CRE) and the 9 bp activating protein 1 site...
