  • CBP and p300 are critical for normal embryonic development

    Mouse models CBP and p300 are critical for normal embryonic development, as mice completely lacking either CBP or p300 protein, die at an early embryonic stage. In addition, mice which lack one functional copy (allele) of both the CBP and p300 genes (i.e. are heterozygous for both CBP and p300) and thus have half of the normal amount…

  • p300-CBP coactivator family – clinical significance

    Mutations in CBP, and to a lesser extent p300, are the cause of Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome, which is characterized by severe mental retardation. These mutations result in the loss of one copy of the gene in each cell, which reduces the amount of CBP or p300 protein by half. Some mutations lead to the production of a very…

  • An example of a process involving p300 and CBP is G protein signaling

    Function in G protein signaling Some G proteins stimulate adenylate cyclase that results in elevation of cAMP. cAMP stimulates PKA, which consists of four subunits, two regulatory and two catalytic. Binding of cAMP to the regulatory subunits causes release of the catalytic subunits. These subunits can then enter the nucleus to interact with transcriptional factors, thus affecting gene transcription.…

  • p300 and CBP are thought to increase gene expression in three ways

    Regulation of gene expression p300 and CBP are thought to increase gene expression in three ways: p300 regulates transcription by directly binding to transcription factors (see external reference for explanatory image). This interaction is managed by one or more of the p300 domains: the nuclear receptor interaction domain (RID), the CREB and MYB interaction domain (KIX), the cysteine/histidine regions (TAZ1/CH1 and TAZ2/CH3) and the interferon response binding…

  • p300-CBP coactivator family

    The p300-CBP coactivator family in humans is composed of two closely related transcriptional co-activating proteins (or coactivators): Both p300 and CBP interact with numerous transcription factors and act to increase the expression of their target genes. Protein structure p300 and CBP have similar structures. Both contain five protein interaction domains: the nuclear receptor interaction domain (RID), the KIX domain (CREB and MYB interaction domain), the cysteine/histidine regions (TAZ1/CH1 and TAZ2/CH3)…

  • Histone acetyltransferase p300

    Histone acetyltransferase p300 also known as p300 HAT or E1A-associated protein p300 (where E1A = adenovirus early region 1A) also known as EP300 or p300 is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the EP300 gene. It functions as histone acetyltransferase that regulates transcription of genes via chromatin remodeling by allowing histone proteins to wrap DNA less tightly. This enzyme plays an essential role in regulating cell growth and division, prompting cells to mature and assume specialized functions…

  • Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is a rare genetic disorder that is the result of genetic mutations in either CBP or p300

    Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) Type 1, which is caused by CBP mutations, for which over 500 different variations have been documented, accounts for approximately 55% of all cases, whereas RTS Type 2, which is caused by any of the nearly 120 different types of p300 mutations, accounts for only 8% of diagnosed cases.  The majority of these…
