We reported previously that activation of endogenous activator protein 1 (AP-1) in chicken embryo fibroblasts is essential for the cellular transformation induced by v-src, and we further showed that the activation of AP-1 is accompanied by elevation of Fra-2 and c-Jun expression and also high-level phosphorylation of Fra-2 by activated endogenous extracellular signal-regulated kinase [mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)].

CEF transformed by v-src, v-yes, v-fps, c-Ha-ras, and N-terminally truncated c-raf were also induced to revert to the normal phenotype by these transdominant mutants, suggesting that functional transcription factor AP-1 activity is essential for the cellular transformation induced by these oncogenes.

We have analysed the expression patterns of all the known fos/jun family genes, which encode the components of the transcription factor AP-1, in the chicken embryonic digestive tract that develops into the esophagus, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, ceca and large intestine.

Mol Cell Biochem. 2000 Sep;212(1-2):187-201.


We concluded that Ang II-induced expression of fibronectin and TGF-beta is mediated by downstream signaling of EGF-R transactivated by Ca2+-dependent tyrosine kinase, and that Ang II-induced fibronectin mRNA expression is regulated by two different mechanisms; transcriptional control by binding of c-fos/c-jun complex to the AP-1 site, and post-transcriptional control by mRNA stabilization due to autocrine and/or paracrine effects of TGF-beta.

The presence of BRG1 and Brm in SW13 correlates completely with the cellular ability to express such genes as vimentin, collagenase, c-met, and CD44 that were under the control of a transcription factor, AP-1, which was shown previously to require a functional SWI/SNF complex for its transactivating activity.

In growth-arrested CEF, small amounts of Fra-2/c-Jun complex bind to the AP-1 consensus sequences in fra-2 promoter, while a significant part of the enhanced AP-1 binding activity after 60-120 min of serum stimulation is attributable to c-Fos/c-Jun heterodimer.

Like c-Fos and Fra-1, Fra-2 formed stable heterodimers with c-Jun, JunB or JunD in vitro and all these complexes had specific DNA-binding activity to AP-1-binding sites (AP-1 sites) or related sequences.
