PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a putative C-terminal hydrophobic transmembrane domain, a typical structural feature for the transcription factors activated by regulated intramembrane proteolysis
  • a bZip domain
  • a predicted transmembrane domain
  • an adjacent cleavage site for the Golgi protease S1P, with conserved features which indicate that it represents a specific subclass of S1P sites
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Creb3l1 (91.9pc)
    homolog to murine Creb3l1 (92.3pc)
    intraspecies homolog to CREB3L2
    Homologene

    text truncation of transmembrane domain resulted in a significant increase in transcriptional activity and altered its subcellular localization from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (transcriptional activator)
  • activating the transcription of COL1A1 through an UPRE-like sequence in the osteoblast-specific COL1A1 promoter region, and thus is critical for bone formation (Murakami 2009)
  • CREB3L1 and CREB3L2, have the ability to up-regulate the secretory pathway in nonsecretory cell types
  • may play a role in bone formation through the expression of type I collagen and the secretion of bone matrix proteins in fracture healing
  • basic leucine zipper transmembrane transcription factor localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is cleaved in its transmembrane region in response to ER stress
  • plays crucial roles in promoting the differentiation of early goblet cells to mature goblet cells in the large intestine
  • may play roles not only in the differentiation of goblet cells but also in protecting these cells from ER stress
  • CREB3L2 and CREB3L1 are ER stress transducers with roles in chondrogenesis and osteogenesis
  • modulates cell- or tissue-specific unfolded protein response signalling
  • plays an important role in suppressing tumorigenesis and its loss of expression is required for the development of a metastatic phenotype
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    a component
  • CREB3L4 and CREB3L1 may form a heterodimer that promotes the expression of target genes required for the differentiation of goblet cells
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • transcription factor GCM1, which is necessary for astrocyte differentiation in Drosophila, is revealed to be a target of CREB3L1
  • CREB3L1 and CREB3L2 are substrates of FBXW7 controling osteogenesis and chondrogenesis by targeting CREB3L1 and CREB3L2, respectively, for degradation

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Creb3l1(-/-) mice showed severe osteopenia (Murakami 2009)
  • in the large intestine of Oasis -/- mice, the number of mature goblet cells that contain abundant secretory granules was reduced dramatically
