The AP-1 transcriptional complex: Local switch or remote command?

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
These studies strikingly indicate that AP-1 principally operates as a remote command binding to distal enhancers, placing chromatin architecture dynamics at the heart of its transcriptional actions.

Oxidative Stress in Cancer.

TL;DR: During progression and metastasis, tumor cells adapt to oxidative stress by increasing NADPH in various ways, including activation of AMPK, the PPP, and reductive glutamine and folate metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promoter G-quadruplexes and transcription factors cooperate to shape the cell type-specific transcriptome.

TL;DR: In this article, DNA G-quadruplex (G4)-folded regions in cells were reported to be associated with either increased or decreased transcriptional activity in liposarcoma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of SIRT1 and Its Roles in Inflammation

TL;DR: The mechanisms that regulate SIRT1 expression, including upstream activators and suppressors that operate on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, are summarized and the potential for Sirt1-based therapeutics for inflammatory diseases is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Multifaceted Output of c-Jun Biological Activity: Focus at the Junction of CD8 T Cell Activation and Exhaustion

TL;DR: How transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms underlie the multifaceted output of c-Jun biological activity, eliciting quite distinct cellular responses, such as neoplastic transformation, differentiation and apoptosis, in different cell types are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear oncoprotein Fra-1: a transcription factor knocking on therapeutic applications' door.

TL;DR: The state of the art and emerging topics and perspectives on FOSL1 and its gene product are reviewed and several recent reports showing the emerging roles of Fra-1 in the mechanisms of both resistance and addiction to targeted therapies are discussed.

Distinct and predictive chromatin signatures of transcriptional promoters and enhancers in the human genome.

TL;DR: Insight is given into the connections between chromatin modifications and transcriptional regulatory activity and a novel functional enhancer for the carnitine transporter SLC22A5 (OCTN2) is uncovered, providing a new tool for the functional annotation of the human genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

AP-1 as a regulator of cell life and death

TL;DR: Interestingly, the growth-promoting activity of c-Jun is mediated by repression of tumour suppressors, as well as upregulation of positive cell cycle regulators, whereas JunB has the converse effect.

The Regulation of AP-1 Activity by Mitogen-activated Protein Kinases

TL;DR: The specific roles of three MAPKs, namely ERK, JNK and FRK, in modulation of both the level and activity of AP-1, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

An atlas of active enhancers across human cell types and tissues

TL;DR: It is shown that enhancers share properties with CpG-poor messenger RNA promoters but produce bidirectional, exosome-sensitive, relatively short unspliced RNAs, the generation of which is strongly related to enhancer activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

AP-1: a double-edged sword in tumorigenesis

TL;DR: This work focuses on the JUN and FOS proteins and aims to offer a new perspective on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the oncogenic and anti-oncogenic effects of AP-1 in tumour development.
