Rapid, transient induction of c-fos transcription follows treatment of cells with insulin and other growth factors. This is mediated through the serum response element (SRE), which binds the serum response factor (SRF), as well as accessory factors such as p62 ternary complex factor. Using a gel shift assay we found that formation of the ternary complex increased transiently within 2 min of insulin or phorbol ester treatment of several insulin-sensitive cell lines. However, mutations that prevented formation of this ternary complex did not inhibit insulin- or phorbol ester-stimulated induction of c-fos transcription in these cell lines. We also identified a novel SRF-containing multiprotein complex that forms on the SRE within 2 min following insulin, phorbol ester, or other growth factor treatment. Formation of this novel complex, called band 3, occurred rapidly and transiently, with a time course parallel to the induction of c-fos transcription. Band 3 also formed with gamma-actin and zif268/3 SRE probes. Methylation and carboxy ethylation interference analysis, as well as extensive SRE mutagenesis, suggest that only the SRF directly contacts the SRE in forming band 3. Formation of this novel complex appears to involve protein-protein interactions between SRF and other nuclear protein(s) that may play a role in growth factor stimulation of c-fos transcription.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
