ETS is a family of transcription factors that contain a highly conserved ETS DNA binding domain. Various members of the ETS family are expressed in cells of hematopoietic lineage. ETS-1, ETS-2 and ERGB/FLI-1 are expressed at high levels in T-lymphocytes. HIV-1 infects T-cells and it has been shown that its LTR contains binding sites for various transcription factors. In this study we show that the HIV-1 core enhancer is directly regulated by ERGB/FLI-1 protein positively, as well as, negatively, depending upon the presence or absence of accessory factors in different cell types. In addition, we show that the ETS-1 transactivation activity is enhanced upon dephosphorylation of the Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase II phosphorylation site located in exon VII. Finally, we demonstrate that the spacing between the two EBS cores in palindromic or direct repeat sites play a crucial role in binding of ETS proteins to DNA.

D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

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.
