Description

JunB is one of the components of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) transcription complex that have been implicated in the control ofthe G0/G1 transtion in fibroblasts. AP-1 is a collection of dimers formed by members of the Jun-, Fos-, ATF- and Maf multigene families that bind to specific DNA regulatory elements called AP-1/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-responsive elements (TREs) and cAMP-responsive elements (CREs). JunB binds to the DNA sequence 5&prime,-TGA[CG]TCA-3&prime,, and involves in the regulation of gene activity following the primary growth factor response. It also acts either as a tumor suppressor or as an oncogene depending on the cell and physiopathological context
