Biochem/physiol Actions

Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) recognizes a specific sequence (TPA response element, a palindromic TRE sequence TGA(C/G) TCA or related sequences) present in many promoter and enhancer gene regions. Regulation of AP-1 is achieved by changes in the expression of Jun and Fos proteins in the dimer, by phosphorylation at both Ser⁶³ and Ser⁷³ by c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and by interaction with a variety of transcriptional coactivators like C-Jun activation domain-binding protein-1 (JAB1). AP-1 is induced by a variety of signals including those eliciting proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

General description

Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) is a leucine zipper transcription factor that recognizes a specific palindromic sequence present in several promoters and enhancers. AP-1 can be induced by several growth and apoptosis-related signaling pathways. Jun proteins are also involved in metastatic, inflammatory and stress responses. Anti-AP-1/c-Jun recognizes an epitope located on the c-Jun DNA binding domain. This epitope is highly conserved in c-Jun, Jun B and Jun D proteins of chicken, mouse, rat, and human. By immunoblotting, the antibody reacts specifically with AP-1/c-Jun (a single band or occasionally a doublet at 39kDa region). Additional bands of lower molecular weight may be observed. Staining of AP-1/c-Jun band(s) is inhibited by the AP-1/c-Jun immunizing peptide (amino acid residues 246-263).

Activation Protein transcription factor 1 (AP-1) is a regulatory leucine zipper transcription factor. AP-1 is composed of either a homodimer of two Jun protein molecules or a heterodimer of one Jun and one Fos (Proto-oncogenes) molecules.
