Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regionalization; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and salivary gland development. Located in chromatin and nucleolus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in mitochondrial nucleoid. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; adult optic lobe; epithelium; gland; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 16. Orthologous to human CREB3L1 (cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 like 1) and CREB3L2 (cAMP responsive element binding protein 3 like 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The Drosophila gene encoding JIG protein (CG14850) is critical for CrebA nuclear trafficking during development.

CREBA and CREBB in two identified neurons gate long-term memory formation in Drosophila.
Title: CREBA and CREBB in two identified neurons gate long-term memory formation in Drosophila.
CrebA increases secretory capacity through direct transcriptional regulation of the secretory machinery, a subset of secretory cargo, and other key regulators.
Title: CrebA increases secretory capacity through direct transcriptional regulation of the secretory machinery, a subset of secretory cargo, and other key regulators.
Loss of CrebA also partially suppresses mHtt effects on behavior and cell loss and restoration of CrebA can suppress Atx2 effects. Our results indicate a prominent role of Atx2 in mediating mHtt pathology, specifically via its regulation of CrebA, defining a novel molecular pathway in Huntington's disease pathogenesis.
Title: Ataxin2 functions via CrebA to mediate Huntingtin toxicity in circadian clock neurons.
Data suggest that CrebA is involved in regulation of infection tolerance in this species; expression of CrebA is regulated in the fat body upon infection; CrebA is required to survive infection and promotes tolerance of bacterial infection; CrebA deficiency leads to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress upon bacterial challenge.

Drosophila CrebA directly binds the enhancers of secretory pathway genes and is both necessary and sufficient to activate expression of every secretory pathway component gene examined thus far.
