GM-CSF increases AP-1 DNA binding and Ref-1 amounts in human alveolar macrophages.
Alveolar macrophages have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of acute and chronic lung disorders. A characteristic feature of many of the chronic lung diseases is that the types of macrophages in the lung change, and in most instances, the cells resemble monocyte-like cells. We have previously shown that normal human alveolar macrophages have a decreased capacity to express protein...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of BATF regulates DNA binding: a novel mechanism for AP-1 (activator protein-1) regulation.
BATF is a member of the AP-1 (activator protein-1) family of bZIP (basic leucine zipper) transcription factors that form transcriptionally inhibitory, DNA binding heterodimers with Jun proteins. In the present study, we demonstrate that BATF is phosphorylated in vivo on multiple serine and threonine residues and at least one tyrosine residue. Reverse-polarity PAGE revealed that serine-43 and th...
متن کاملAPE1/Ref-1 enhances DNA binding activity of mutant p53 in a redox-dependent manner.
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a dual function protein; in addition to its DNA repair activity, it can stimulate DNA binding activity of numerous transcription factors as a reduction-oxidation (redox) factor. APE1/Ref-1 has been found to be a potent activator of wild-type p53 (wtp53) DNA binding in vitro and in vivo. Although p53 is mutated in most types of ...
متن کاملAPE1/Ref-1 role in redox signaling: translational applications of targeting the redox function of the DNA repair/redox protein APE1/Ref-1.
The heterogeneity of most cancers diminishes the treatment effectiveness of many cancer-killing regimens. Thus, treatments that hold the most promise are ones that block multiple signaling pathways essential to cancer survival. One of the most promising proteins in that regard is APE1, whose reduction-oxidation activity influences multiple cancer survival mechanisms, including growth, prolifera...
متن کاملThe DNA repair activity of human redox/repair protein APE/Ref-1 is inactivated by phosphorylation.
The human DNA repair protein apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE) is a dual-function protein that has important roles in both the repair of baseless sites that arise in DNA and in regulating the redox state of a number of proteins (Ref-1). Although previous attention has been focused on how the human APE/Ref-1 gene may be regulated at the DNA level, we have instead examined if APE/Ref-1 is ...
