We have directed a polyclonal antibody against an oligo-peptide (123-136) of the transcription factor cyclic AMP responsive element-binding protein (CREB) including the serine residue at 133.
Suppression of general new protein synthesis by cycloheximide (500 mg/kg, i.p.) in vivo resulted in a significant decrease in the nuclear CREB level, with a concomitant increase in the cytosolic level in hippocampus, but not in cerebellum.

By using cycloheximide to block the de novo protein synthesis, similar rate of USF2 degradation was found under either normal glucose or high glucose conditions.
By using the luciferase-promoter deletion assay, site-directed mutagenesis, and transactivation assay, we identified a glucose-responsive element in the USF2 gene promoter (-1,740 to -1,620, relative to the transcription start site) and demonstrated that glucose-induced USF2 expression is mediated through a cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB)-dependent transactivation of the USF2 promoter.

15604115 Yeagley D, Quinn PG: 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein are dispensable for insulin inhibition of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase transcription and for its synergistic induction by protein kinase A and glucocorticoids. Mol Endocrinol. 2005 Apr;19(4):913-24. Epub 2004 Dec 16.

Here, we assessed the roles of CRE-binding protein (CREB) and C/EBP factors in mediating hormone-regulated transcription.
Cycloheximide did not block insulin inhibition, indicating that alternate translation of C/EBPbeta is not required.

Moreover, the induction was accompanied by a parallel increase in phospho-CREB activity which, however, persisted at the end of the transformation of the astroglial cells.

Taken together, these data suggest that protein synthesis and accumbal CREB phosphorylation are essential for the learning and consolidation of the cocaine-induced CPP, whereas methamphetamine-induced CPP may be unrelated to the synthesis of new proteins.
Likewise, cocaine-induced CPP was mitigated by another protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide (15 mg/kg/injection) pretreatment, whereas methamphetamine-induced CPP remained intact by such pretreatment.

Li (+)-induced flagellar gene expression occurs in cells pretreated with cycloheximide, suggesting that the abundance change is a response that does not require new protein synthesis.
Deletion analysis of the flagellar alpha1-tubulin gene promoter showed that sequences necessary for Li (+)-induced expression differed from those for acid shock induction and contain a consensus binding site for CREB/ATF and AP-1 transcription factors.

The recognition of the basic leucine zipper domain in the regulation of transcriptional activity of cAMP response element-binding protein by salt-inducible kinase (SIK) prompted our investigation of the regulatory role of this kinase in the induction of Aa-nat and other cAMP-regulated genes in the rat pineal gland.

At the beginning of the night, norepinephrine (NE) elicits a rapid and sustained phosphorylation of CREB into pCREB and a transient synthesis of the immediate early gene products c-FOS and c-JUN that peak 3 h after dark onset. c-FOS synthesis requires both pCREB and the pERK1/2 pathways.
Interestingly, injection of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide before, but not after, the c-FOS/c-JUN peak markedly reduces Aanat mRNA levels.

The GSNO-induced increase of PDE4B gene expression is CREB dependent.
The GSNO-induced increase in PDE4B mRNA levels was blocked by actinomycin D but augmented by cycloheximide.

On the other hand, A. camphorata also increased phosphorylated CREB, a transcription factor, which is H-89-inhibitable in this study, suggesting the possibility that A. camphorata prevents serum deprivation-induced PC12 cell apoptosis through a PKA/CREB-dependent pathway.

ATF5 is a transcription factor in the cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein/activating transcription factor (CREB/ATF) family.
Cycloheximide inhibited the increase in ATF5 mRNA expression induced by glutamine limitation, indicating that it was dependent on de novo protein synthesis.

Pretreatment of MIN6 cells with Ca (2+) chelator (EGTA, BAPTA/AM), protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Go6976, or protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide significantly inhibited FA-induced amylin mRNA expression.
