Journal ArticleDOI
Phorbol ester-inducible genes contain a common cis element recognized by a TPA-modulated trans-acting factor.

TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that AP-1 is at the receiving end of a complex pathway responsible for transmitting the effects of phorbol ester tumor promoters from the plasma membrane to the transcriptional machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI
The regulation and function of c-fos and other immediate early genes in the nervous system.
TL;DR: This review highlights the importance of identifying the genes that are responsive to trans-synaptic stimulation and membrane electrical activity in neural cells and proposes that IEGs encode regulatory proteins that control the expression of late response genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purified transcription factor AP-1 interacts with TPA-inducible enhancer elements
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multiple synthetic copies of the consensus AP-1-binding site can act as TPA-inducible enhancers in various plasmid constructs after transfection into HeLa cells, suggesting that AP- 1 is a transcription factor that functions by interacting with a specific enhancer element, and that its activities may be modulated by treatment of cells with TPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of inducible and tissue-specific gene expression
TL;DR: A number of cases of inducible and tissue-specific gene expression involve the activation of preexisting transcription factors, rather than the synthesis of new proteins, which may involve covalent modification of the protein or an allosteric change in its structure.

Inducible and constitutive transcription factors in the mammalian nervous system: control of gene expression by Jun, Fos and Krox, and CREB/ATF proteins
T. Herdegen,J.D. Leah +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviews findings up to the end of 1997 about the inducible transcription factors c-Jun, JunB, JunD, c-Fos, FosB, Fra,1, Fra-2, Krox-20 (Egr-2) and Krox -24 (NGFI-A, Egr-1, Zif268) as they pertain to gene expression in the mammalian nervous system and describes their expression and possible roles in glial cells.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Sequencing end-labeled DNA with base-specific chemical cleavages.
Allan M. Maxam,Walter Gilbert +1 more
TL;DR: The chapter presents techniques for producing discrete DNA fragments, end-labeling DNA, segregating end- labeled fragments, extracting DNA from gels, and the protocols for partially cleaving it at specific bases using the chemical reactions.

Accurate transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in a soluble extract from isolated mammalian nuclei
TL;DR: A procedure for preparing extracts from nuclei of human tissue culture cells that directs accurate transcription initiation in vitro from class II promoters, including tRNA and Ad 2 VA, is developed.

The role of protein kinase C in cell surface signal transduction and tumour promotion
TL;DR: Protein kinase C probably serves as a receptor for the tumour promoters and further exploration of the roles of this enzyme may provide clues for understanding the mechanism of cell growth and differentiation.

Stimulation of 3T3 cells induces transcription of the c- fos proto-oncogene
TL;DR: Transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene is greatly increased within minutes of administering purified growth factors to quiescent 3T3 cells, and this stimulation is the most rapid transcriptional response to peptide growth factors yet described, implying a role for c- fos in cell-cycle control.
