DNA binding activities of three murine Jun proteins: stimulation by Fos 总被引:144,自引:0,他引:144
Three members of the Jun/AP-1 family have been identified in mouse cDNA libraries: c-Jun, Jun-B, and Jun-D. We have compared the DNA binding properties of the Jun proteins by using in vitro translation products in gel retardation assays. Each protein was able to bind to the consensus AP-1 site (TGACTCA) and, with lower affinity, to related sequences, including the cyclic AMP response element TGACGTCA. The relative binding to the oligonucleotides tested was similar for the different proteins. The Jun proteins formed homodimers and heterodimers with other members of the family, and they were bound to the AP-1 site as dimers. When Fos translation product was present, DNA binding by Jun increased markedly, and the DNA complex contained Fos. The C-terminal homology region of Jun was sufficient for DNA binding, dimer formation, and interaction with Fos. Our general conclusion is that c-Jun, Jun-B, and Jun-D are similar in their DNA binding properties and in their interaction with Fos. If there are functional differences between them, they are likely to involve other activities of the Jun proteins. 相似文献

Osteoclasts play a seminal role in many skeletal diseases and therefore are candidates for cell-based gene delivery systems to treat disorders of bone. As an initial step toward developing osteoclast-mediated gene delivery systems, we have made and analyzed a customized Molony-Murine leukemia virus (MMLV)-based retroviral vector containing elements of the osteoclast-specific tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) gene. RAW 264.7 cells were transduced with the customized vector (E3) and differentiated along macrophage or osteoclast lineages. E3 contained a truncated form of the human nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) as a reporter gene. NGFR expression increased with RANK-ligand (RANK-L) treatment but not with macrophage (gamma-IFN/LPS treatment) differentiation. Enhanced NGFR expression peaked 48 h after RANK-L treatment. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) analysis of the TRAP gene regulatory elements in E3 identified a single 27 bp DNA probe, which specifically bound protein from RANK-L-treated cells. DNA sequence revealed AP-1 binding sites, and analysis with mutant probes implied that the sites were functional. EMSA supershift analysis identified Fos protein interacting with the 27 bp probe. In summary, insertion of sequence -962 to -868 from the TRAP gene into the U3 region of the MMLV LTR confers RANK-L induced retroviral gene expression via Fos family protein interaction at AP-1 sites. 相似文献
