Differential roles for Fos and Jun in DNA-binding: redox-dependent and independent functions.
The Fos and Jun family of transcription factors contain an invariant sequence motif lysine-cysteine-arginine (KCR) in the highly conserved DNA-binding region. Reduction of the cysteine residue is necessary to facilitate DNA-binding. Here, we examined the potential dual roles of the flanking lysine and arginine residues in influencing the redox reactivity of the cysteine and the DNA-binding acti...
متن کاملDimerization and DNA binding alter phosphorylation of Fos and Jun.
Fos and Jun form dimeric complexes that bind to activator protein 1 (AP-1) DNA sequences and regulate gene expression. The levels of expression and activities of these proteins are regulated by a variety of extracellular stimuli. They are thought to function in nuclear signal transduction processes in many different cell types. The role of Fos and Jun in gene transcription is complex and may be...
متن کاملEnergy transfer analysis of Fos-Jun dimerization and DNA binding.
The protooncogenes fos and jun encode proteins that bind to DNA as dimeric complexes and regulate gene expression. Protein dimerization is mediated by a leucine zipper and results in juxtaposition of regions of each protein rich in basic amino acids that comprise a bimolecular DNA binding domain. We have developed an approach based on resonance energy transfer for the quantitative analysis of d...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
DNA binding of Jun and Fos bZip domains: homodimers and heterodimers induce a DNA conformational change in solution.
We constructed plasmids encoding the sequences for the bZip modules of c-Jun and c-Fos which could then be expressed as soluble proteins in Escherichia coli. The purified bZip modules were tested for their binding capacities of synthetic oligonucleotides containing either TRE or CRE recognition sites in electrophoretic mobility shift assays and circular dichroism (CD). Electrophoretic mobility ...
