Dynamics of Fos-Jun-NFAT1 complexes.
Transcription initiation in eukaryotes is controlled by nucleoprotein complexes formed through cooperative interactions among multiple transcription regulatory proteins. These complexes may be assembled via stochastic collisions or defined pathways. We investigated the dynamics of Fos-Jun-NFAT1 complexes by using a multicolor fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay. Fos-Jun heterodimers ca...
متن کاملFos and Jun do not bend the AP-1 recognition site.
We have used a solution-based DNA cyclization assay and a gel-phasing method to show that contrary to previous reports [Kerppola, T. K. & Curran, T. (1991) Cell 66, 317-326], basic region leucine zipper proteins Fos and Jun do not significantly bend their AP-1 recognition site. We have constructed two sets of DNA constructs that contain the 7-bp 5'-TGACTCA-3' AP-1 binding site, from either the ...
متن کاملTransrepression of c-jun gene expression by the glucocorticoid receptor requires both AP-1 sites in the c-jun promoter.
The c-jun protooncogene encodes a nuclear protein, cJun, which is a major component of the AP-1 transcription factor. AP-1 regulates various aspects of cell proliferation and differentiation. As an immediate early response gene, the expression of the c-jun gene is affected by various extracellular stimuli, such as serum, phorbol esters, and glucocorticoids. In mouse L929 fibroblasts, dexamethas...
متن کاملFos and Jun repress transcriptional activation by myogenin and MyoD: the amino terminus of Jun can mediate repression.
Myogenin and MyoD belong to a family of muscle-specific helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins that have the potential to activate muscle-specific genes in nonmyogenic cells. Peptide growth factors can block the ability of myogenin and MyoD to activate their target genes. Here, we show that the growth factor-inducible proto-oncogenes c-fos, c-jun, and junB mimic the effects of exogenous growth factors...
متن کاملDown-regulation of c-Fos/c-Jun AP-1 dimer activity by sumoylation.
The inducible transcriptional complex AP-1, composed of c-Fos and c-Jun proteins, is crucial for cell adaptation to many environmental changes. While its mechanisms of activation have been extensively studied, how its activity is restrained is poorly understood. We report here that lysine 265 of c-Fos is conjugated by the peptidic posttranslational modifiers SUMO-1, SUMO-2, and SUMO-3 and that ...
