CBO - what does this stand for? (May/17/2010 )

Hi,
I stuck, and google/pubmed/people in my office aren't helping.
What does CBO stand for?
As in: the coactivator CBO is also a histone acetyltransferase...
Thanks,
V



eh... it was a typo. i think they meant CBP. they did mean CBP?

I found two references citing papers in Nature for CBO:

Kwok, R.P.S.; Lundblad, J.R.; Chrivia, J.C.; Richards, J.P.; Bachlinger, H.P.; Brennan, R.G.; Roberts, S.G.E.; Green, M.R.; Goodman, R.H. Nuclear protein CBO is a coactivator for the transcription factor CREB. Nature 1994, 370, 223-226. (reference 44 here)

Chakravarti D, LaMorte VJ, Nelson MC, Nakajima T, Schulman IG, Juguilon H, Montminy M and Evans R (1996) Role of CBO/p300 in nuclear receptor signalling. Nature, 383, 99�103. (in references here)

However, when you look these references up at Nature, the CBO in the title of the cited publications is changed to CBP...

I would agree that it seems like a CBP typo.

When I google your phrase "coactivator CBO is also a histone acetyltransferase" I get:

Did you mean: "coactivator CBP is also a histone acetyltransferase"

which has many more results than the CBO quote (which only links to this thread).

this is the problem with so many acronyms... i don't know if they're always correct. and to think, i get in trouble when i misspell murine as muring. :P

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a federal agency within the legislative branch of the United States government. It is a government agency that provides economic data to Congress.
