Abstract excerpt
The basic/leucine zipper (bZip) transcription factor, CREB, binds to the CRE element (TGANNTCA). The transcriptional activity of CREB requires phosphorylation of the protein on a serine residue at position 119 (ref. 6). CREs are present in a number of T-cell genes but the precise role of CREB in T-cell differentiation and function was unknown. Here we show that resting thymocytes contain predominantly...
