Dynamic glycosylation of the transcription factor CREB: A potential role in gene regulation

Abstract

We report that CREB (cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein), a transcription factor essential for long-term memory, is O-GlcNAc glycosylated in the mammalian brain. Glycosylation occurs at two sites within the Q2 domain and disrupts the interaction between CREB and TAF_(II)130, thereby repressing the transcriptional activity of CREB in vitro. These findings have important implications for the role of O-GlcNAc glycosylation in gene regulation, and they provide a link between O-GlcNAc and information storage processes in the brain.
