Abstract excerpt
Second messengers like cAMP can activate the transcription of genes containing consesus cAMP response element (CRE). A 43 kd nuclear phosphoprotein previously identified as the cAMP response element binding (CREB) protein has been shown to bind as a dimer to CRE and activate gene transcription. The rat and human CREB protein contain the 'leucine zipper' motif. We have analyzed the role of both leucine zipper...
