Dimer formation by ternary complex factor ELK-1.
Ternary complex factors (TCFs), a subgroup of the ets protein family, bind with a dimer of serum response factor to the c-fos serum response element. Both DNA binding and transcriptional activation by TCFs are regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinases. When activated, mitogen-activated protein kinases form homodimers that translocate to the nucleus, where they interact with TCFs via specif...
متن کاملActivation of ternary complex factor Elk-1 by stress-activated protein kinases
BACKGROUND The mammalian response to stress results in the activation of stress-activated protein kinases (also known as cJun N-terminal kinases; SAPKs or JNKs), which are a sub-group of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. The SAPKs are involved in the upregulation of activity of the transcription factor AP-1 by post-translational modification of two of its components, cJun and A...
متن کاملActivation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 long terminal repeat by the ternary complex factor Elk-1.
Serum response factor (SRF) was recently shown to bind and activate the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) promoter at bases -116 to -125 relative to the transcription start site. In addition to the SRF binding site (CArG box), serum response elements (SRE) also typically contain a binding site for a member of the ternary complex factor (TCF) family. Here we demonstrate the presence of...
متن کاملMitogen-induced recruitment of ERK and MSK to SRE promoter complexes by ternary complex factor Elk-1
Many eukaryotic genes are acutely regulated by extra-cellular signals. The c-fos serum response element (SRE) mediates transcriptional activation in response to mitogens through serum response factor (SRF)-dependent recruitment of Elk-1, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-responsive transcription factor. How subsequent events at SRE promoters stimulate initiation of transcription has yet...
متن کاملDimer formation and conformational flexibility ensure cytoplasmic stability and nuclear accumulation of Elk-1
The ETS (E26) protein Elk-1 serves as a paradigm for mitogen-responsive transcription factors. It is multiply phosphorylated by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which it recruits into pre-initiation complexes on target gene promoters. However, events preparatory to Elk-1 phosphorylation are less well understood. Here, we identify two novel, functional elements in Elk-1 that determine ...
