protein (CBP) is partly caused by its histone acetyltransferase activity. However, it has
become increasingly clear that CBP acetylates both histones and non-histone proteins,
many of which are transcription factors. Here we investigate the role of CBP acetylase
activity in CREB-mediated gene expression. We show that CREB is acetylated within the cell
and that in vitro, CREB is acetylated by CBP, but not by another acetylase, p300/CBP …
