AP-1 as a regulator of cell life and death

Shaulian, Eitan, Karin, Michael·2002·Nature Cell Biology

Abstract

The transcription factor AP-1 (activator protein-1) is involved in cellular proliferation, transformation and death. Using mice and cells lacking AP-1 components, the target-genes and molecular mechanisms mediating these processes were recently identified. Interestingly, the growth-promoting activity of c-Jun is mediated by repression of tumour suppressors, as well as upregulation of positive cell cycle regulators. Mostly, c-Jun is a positive regulator of cell proliferation, whereas JunB has the converse effect. The intricate relationships between the different Jun proteins, their activities and the mechanisms that mediate them will be discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
