Induction of the human c-fos proto-oncogene by mitogens depends on the formation of a ternary complex by p62TCF with the serum response factor (SRF) and the serum response element (SRE). We demonstrate that Elk-1, a protein closely related to p62TCF in function, is a nuclear target of two members of the MAP kinase family, ERK1 and ERK2. Phosphorylation of Elk-1 increases the yield of ternary complex in vitro. At least five residues in the C-terminal domain of Elk-1 are phosphorylated upon growth factor stimulation of NIH3T3 cells. These residues are also phosphorylated by purified ERK1 in vitro, as determined by a combination of phosphopeptide sequencing and 2-D peptide mapping. Conversion of two of these phospho-acceptor sites to alanine impairs the formation of ternary complexes by the resulting Elk-1 proteins. Removal of these serine residues also drastically diminishes activation of the c-fos promoter in epidermal growth factor-treated cells. Analogous mutations at other sites impair activation to a lesser extent without affecting ternary complex formation in vitro. Our results indicate that phosphorylation regulates ternary complex formation by Elk-1, which is a prerequisite for the manifestation of its transactivation potential at the c-fos SRE. 相似文献

Serum response element binding protein (SRE BP) is a novel binding factor present in nuclear extracts of avian and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts which specifically binds to the cfos SRE within a region overlapping and immediately 3' to the CArG box. Site-directed mutagenesis combined with transfection experiments in NIH 3T3 cells showed that binding of both serum response factor (SRF) and SRE BP is necessary for maximal serum induction of the SRE. In this study, we have combined size fractionation of the SRE BP DNA binding activity with C/EBPbeta antibodies to demonstrate that homodimers and heterodimers of p35C/EBPbeta (a transactivator) and p20C/EBPbeta (a repressor) contribute to the SRE BP complex in NIH 3T3 cells. Transactivation of the SRE by p35C/EBPbeta is dependent on SRF binding but not ternary complex factor (TCF) formation. Both p35C/EBPbeta and p20C/EBPbeta bind to SRF in vitro via a carboxy-terminal domain that probably does not include the leucine zipper. Moreover, SRE mutants which retain responsiveness to the TCF-independent signaling pathway bind SRE BP in vitro with affinities that are nearly identical to that of the wild-type SRE, whereas mutant SRE.M, which is not responsive to the TCF-independent pathway, has a nearly 10-fold lower affinity for SRE BP. We propose that C/EBPbeta may play a role in conjunction with SRF in the TCF-independent signaling pathway for SRE activation. 相似文献

Characterization of SAP-1, a protein recruited by serum response factor to the c-fos serum response element. 总被引:114,自引:0,他引:114
We used a yeast genetic screen to isolate cDNAs that encode a protein, SRF accessory protein-1 (SAP-1), that is recruited to the c-fos serum response element (SRE) as part of a ternary complex that includes serum response factor (SRF). SAP-1 requires DNA-bound SRF for ternary complex formation and makes extensive DNA contacts to the 5' side of SRF, but does not bind DNA autonomously. Ternary complex formation by SAP-1 requires only the DNA-binding domain of SRF, which can be replaced by that of the related yeast protein MCM1. We isolated cDNAs encoding two forms of SAP-1 protein, SAP-1a and SAP-1b, which differ at their C termini. Both SAP-1 proteins contain three regions of striking homology with the elk-1 protein, including an N-terminal ets domain. Ternary complex formation by SAP-1 requires both the ets domain and a second conserved region 50 amino acids to its C-terminal side. SAP-1 has similar DNA binding properties to the previously characterized HeLa cell protein p62/TCF. 相似文献
