The CREB binding protein (CBP) was first identified as a protein that specifically binds to the active phosphorylated form of the cyclic-AMP response element binding protein (CREB). CBP was initially defined as a transcriptional coactivator that, as a result of its large size and multiple protein binding domain modules, may function as a molecular scaffold. More recently, an acetyltransferase activity, both of histones and nonhistones, has been found to be essential for transactivation. In this review, we will discuss the current understanding of the acetyltransferase specificity and activity of the CBP protein and how it may function to coactivate transcription. We will also examine the regulation of the CBP histone acetyltransferase activity in the cell cycle, by signal-transduction pathways and throughout development.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been successfully employed across various mammalian species, yet cloned animals consistently exhibit low pregnancy rates, primarily due to placental abnormalities such as hyperplasia and hypertrophy. This study investigated the involvement of the Hippo signaling pathway in aberrant placental development in SCNT-induced bovine pregnancies. SCNT-derived cattle exhibited placental hypertrophy, including enlarged abdominal circumference and altered placental cotyledon morphology.

Until now, Hippo pathway-mediated nucleocytoplasmic translocation has been considered the primary mechanism by which yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) transcriptional coactivators regulate cell proliferation and differentiation via transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD)-mediated target gene expression. In this study, however, we found that TAZ, but not YAP, is associated with the Golgi apparatus in macrophages activated via Toll-like receptor ligands during the resolution phase of inflammation. Golgi-associated TAZ enhanced vesicle trafficking and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in M1 macrophage independent of the Hippo pathway.

Protein ubiquitination is usually coupled with proteasomal degradation and is crucial in regulating protein quality. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase SCF (Skp1-Cullin-F-box) complex directly recognizes the target substrate via interaction between the F-box protein and the substrate. F-box protein is the determinant of substrate specificity.

Background: The Hippo signaling pathway involves a kinase cascade that controls phosphorylation of the effector proteins YAP and TAZ, leading to regulation of cell growth, tissue homeostasis, and apoptosis. Morusin, a compound extracted from Morus alba, has shown potential in cancer therapy by targeting multiple signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and apoptosis pathways. This study explores the effects of morusin on YAP activation and its implications for apoptosis resistance.

Skeletal muscle function gradually declines with aging, presenting substantial health and societal challenges. Comparative analysis of how aging affects fast- and slow-twitch muscles remains lacking. We utilized 20-month-old mice to reveal the aging effects on muscle structure and fiber composition, followed by bulk RNA sequencing for fast- and slow-twitch muscles and integration with human single-cell RNA sequencing dataset providing a comparative analysis across species.
