Summary
CRTC3 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 3, HGNC:26148) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q26.1, encoding CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 3 (Q6UUV7). Transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which activates transcription through both consensus and variant cAMP response element (CRE) sites.
This gene is a member of the CREB regulated transcription coactivator gene family. This family regulates CREB-dependent gene transcription in a phosphorylation-independent manner and may be selective for cAMP-responsive genes. The protein encoded by this gene may induce mitochondrial biogenesis and attenuate catecholamine signaling in adipose tissue. A translocation event between this gene and Notch coactivator mastermind-like gene 2, which results in a fusion protein, has been reported in mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.

Function. Transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which activates transcription through both consensus and variant cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Acts as a coactivator, in the SIK/TORC signaling pathway, being active when dephosphorylated and acts independently of CREB1 ‘Ser-133’ phosphorylation. Enhances the interaction of CREB1 with TAF4. Regulates the expression of specific CREB-activated genes such as the steroidogenic gene, StAR. Potent coactivator of PPARGC1A and inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. Also coactivator for TAX activation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeats (LTR).
Subunit / interactions. Binding, as a tetramer, through its N-terminal region, with the bZIP domain of CREB1 enhances recruitment of TAF4 to the promoter. ‘Arg-314’ in the bZIP domain of CREB1 is essential for this interaction. Interacts (when phosphorylated at Ser-162 and Se-273) with 14-3-3 proteins. Interacts with YWHAE. Interacts (when phosphorylated at Ser-391) with phosphatase PP2A catalytic subunit PPP2CA and regulatory subunits PPP2R1A and PPP2R2A. Interacts, via the N-terminal with the ankyrin repeats of BCL3, to form a complex with CREB1 on CRE and TxRE responsive elements and represses HTLV-1 LTR-mediated transcription. (Microbial infection) Interacts with HTLV-1 protein Tax; this interaction enhances tax transcriptional activity.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in B and T lymphocytes. Highest levels in lung. Also expressed in brain, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, and prostate. Weak expression in liver, pancreas, muscle, small intestine, spleen and stomach.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation states of Ser-273 are required for regulating transduction of CREB activity. CRTCs/TORCs are inactive when phosphorylated, and active when dephosphorylated at this site. May be phosphorylated at Ser-391 by MAPK3/ERK1 and/or MAPK1/ERK2 or by some cyclin-dependent kinases such as CDK1,CDK2 or CDK5. Following adenylyl cyclase activation, dephosphorylated at Ser-162 and Ser-273 resulting in its dissociation from 14-3-3 proteins probably promoting CRTC3 translocation into the nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the TORC family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 69 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
