Schematic model describing activation of Aplysia CREB1, deactivation of Aplysia CREB2, and consequent induction of genes regulated by a cAMP response element (CRE) that is required for the induction of LTF. CREB1 can be phosphorylated by both PKA and RSK. Phosphorylation of CREB1 is assumed necessary for induction of gene expression. CREB2 represses gene expression. Phosphorylation of CREB2 by ERK removes this repression. Arrows and circles indicate positive and negative regulation of transcription, respectively.
