- C-jun
c-Jun is the name of a gene and protein which, in combination with
c-Fos , forms the AP-1 early responsetranscription factor . It is activated through double phosphorylation by theJNK pathway but has also a phosphorylation-independent function. c-Jun knockout is lethal, but transgenic animals with a mutated c-Jun that cannot be phosphorylated (termed c-JunAA) can survive.PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = This gene is the putative transforming gene of avian sarcoma virus 17. It encodes a protein which is highly similar to the viral protein, and which interacts directly with specific target DNA sequences to regulate gene expression. This gene is intronless and is mapped to 1p32-p31, a chromosomal region involved in both translocations and deletions in human malignancies.
