Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma

TL;DR: This systematic review and meta-analyses confirmed the findings of a previous study published in “Rhinitis and Asthma: Causes and Prevention, 2nd Ed.” (2015) as well as new findings of “Mechanisms of Respiratory Disease and Allergology,” which confirmed the role of EMTs in the development of these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

JNK1: A protein kinase stimulated by UV light and Ha-Ras that binds and phosphorylates the c-Jun activation domain

TL;DR: JNK1 is a component of a novel signal transduction pathway that is activated by oncoproteins and UV irradiation and its properties indicate that JNK1 activation may play an important role in tumor promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

AP-1 function and regulation.

TL;DR: This work has shown that regulation by heterodimerization between Jun, Fos and ATF proteins, AP-1 activity is regulated through interactions with specific protein kinases and a variety of transcriptional coactivators, and there has been considerable progress in understanding some of the mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the regulation of AP.
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.

Activation of transcription by two factors that bind promoter and enhancer sequences of the human metallothionein gene and SV40

TL;DR: The identification of two cellular DNA-binding proteins that interact selectively with sequences governing the basal level expression of hMTIIA, a novel activator protein (API) that interacts with sequences in the BLE of h MTIIA and also binds to a site within the 72-base pair repeats of the simian virus 40 (SV40) enhancer region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autoinduction of transforming growth factor beta 1 is mediated by the AP-1 complex.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate that both components of the AP-1 complex are required for TGF-beta 1 autoinduction, and may amplify the action of TGF -beta 1 during normal development and oncogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jun-B differs in its biological properties from, and is a negative regulator of, c-Jun.

TL;DR: Using chimeric proteins, it is shown that the distinct behavior of c-Jun and Jun-B is due to differences in their activation domains, which greatly expands the regulatory potential of the Jun family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Negative effect of the transcriptional activator GAL4

TL;DR: It is suggested that this inhibition, which the authors call squelching, reflects titration of a transcription factor by the activating region of GAL4, and that more efficient activators inhibit more strongly and that inhibition does not depend on the DNA-binding domain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-acting protein factors and the regulation of eukaryotic transcription: lessons from studies on DNA tumor viruses.

TL;DR: It is now clear that many promoters, particularly those of 'housekeeping' genes, lack TATA boxes and are instead composed of GC-rich elements that are often located within methylation-free islands (Bird 1986).
