COOH-terminal Src kinase-mediated c-Jun phosphorylation promotes c-Jun degradation and inhibits cell transformation.
The oncoprotein c-Jun is a component of the activator protein-1 transcription factor complex, which is involved in cellular proliferation, transformation, and death. The stabilization of c-Jun is critically important for its function. The phosphorylation of c-Jun by c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase 1 and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases reduces c-Jun ubiquitination resulting in increas...
متن کاملAngiogenesis and c-Jun.
A new pathway for tumor angiogenesis, and possibly for other forms of pathologic angiogenesis, is reported in this issue of the Journal by Zhang et al. (1). They showed that when expression of the basic region-leucine zipper protein c-Jun was suppressed in human endothelial cells by transfection with a DNAzyme targeting the c-Jun mRNA, the cells could no longer form new blood vessels in vitro o...
متن کاملRb binds c-Jun and activates transcription.
The retinoblastoma protein (Rb) acts as a critical cell-cycle regulator and loss of Rb function is associated with a variety of human cancer types. Here we report that Rb binds to members of the AP-1 family of transcription factors, including c-Jun, and stimulates c-Jun transcriptional activity from an AP-1 consensus sequence. The interaction involves the leucine zipper region of c-Jun and the ...
متن کاملDifferential and antagonistic effects of v-Jun and c-Jun.
We compared the ability of cellular and viral Jun (c-Jun and v-Jun) to transactivate target genes. c-Jun and v-Jun bind specifically to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate responsive elements [TREs, also called activator protein 1 (AP-1) motifs]. However, whereas c-Jun activates TRE-controlled promoters, v-Jun represses them. Cotransfection of the two Jun proteins reduces c-Jun-dependent trans...
متن کاملTranscription factor c-Jun activation represses mdr-1 gene expression.
Expression of mdr-1 is complex and highly regulated. Several lines of evidence indirectly suggest that transcription factor c-Jun may negatively regulate human mdr-1 gene expression. We recently found that salvicine, a novel topoisomerase II inhibitor, is cytotoxic for multidrug resistance (MDR) tumor cells and down-regulates mdr-1 expression in MDR K562/A02 cells. Salvicine also stimulates a s...
