Abstract excerpt
The cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) has been implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological functions including those of several hypoxia-responding genes. All CREB transcription-regulated genes harbor the eight base-pair cAMP-responsive element (CRE) or the seven base-pair AP-1 sequence. Utilizing mutational analysis and biochemical assays, we found that reduction of two cysteine residues...
