Abstract

The expression of different members of the Jun and Fos families of transcription factors is rapidly induced following serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts. To determine whether these proteins are required for cell cycle progression, we microinjected affinity-purified antibodies directed against c-Fos, FosB, Fra-1, c-Jun, JunB, and JunD, and antibodies that recognize either the Fos or the Jun family of proteins, into Swiss 3T3 cells and determined their effects in cell cycle progression by monitoring DNA synthesis. We found that microinjection of anti-Fos and anti-Jun family antibodies efficiently blocked the entrance to the S phase of serum-stimulated or asynchronously growing cells. However, the antibodies against single members of the Fos family only partially inhibited DNA synthesis. In contrast, all three Jun antibodies prevented DNA synthesis more effectively than did any of the anti-Fos antibodies.

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.
