Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) [MIM:612160: A distinct variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that typically occurs in children and adolescents and is manifest by nodular subcutaneous growth. Characteristic microscopic features include lobulated sheets of histiocyte-like cells intimately associated with areas of hemorrhage and cystic pseudovascular spaces, as well as a striking cuffing of inflammatory cells, mimicking a lymph node metastasis. Note=The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. A chromosomal aberration involving CREB1 is found in a patient with angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. Translocation t(2;22)(q33;q12) with CREB1 generates a EWSR1/CREB1 fusion gene that is most common genetic abnormality in this tumor type. Note=A CREB1 mutation has been found in a patient with multiple congenital anomalies consisting of agenesis of the corpus callosum, cerebellar hypoplasia, severe neonatal respiratory distress refractory to surfactant, thymus hypoplasia, and thyroid follicular hypoplasia (PubMed:22267179). Function CREB1_HUMAN Phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that stimulates transcription upon binding to the DNA cAMP response element (CRE), a sequence present in many viral and cellular promoters. Transcription activation is enhanced by the TORC coactivators which act independently of Ser-133 phosphorylation. Involved in different cellular processes including the synchronization of circadian rhythmicity and the differentiation of adipose cells. Publication Abstract from PubMed The cAMP response element (CRE) binding protein (CREB) is central in the transcription regulation by cAMP, and the CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivators (CRTCs) play critical roles in CREB-mediated transcription activation. Upon stimulation, CRTCs translocate into the nucleus and complex with CREB on CRE promoters to activate target gene transcription. Their physiological importance is underscored by their function in energy balance, long-term memory, longevity and other processes. The CREB binding domain on CRTCs has been mapped, which interacts with the CREB basic leucine zipper domain that also mediates interaction with CRE-containing DNA. We report here crystal structures of a complex containing the CRTC2 CREB binding domain, the CREB basic leucine zipper domain and a CRE-containing DNA. The structures revealed that CRTC and CREB form a 2:2 complex on CRE-containing DNA, and CRTC interacts with both CREB and DNA through highly conserved residues. Structure-guided functional studies revealed that both interactions are crucial for the complex assembly and CREB stabilization on DNA. Interestingly, we found that the CRTC-DNA interaction confers selectivity toward the intrinsic DNA shape, which may play a role in selective transcription activation of the CRE genes.
