General Information

Term

transcription factor AP-1 complex

ID (Ontology)

GO:0035976 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

A heterodimeric transcription factor complex composed of proteins from the c-Fos, c-Jun, activating transcription factor (ATF) or JDP families. The subunits contain a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain that is essential for dimerization and DNA binding. Jun-Fos heterodimers bind preferentially to a heptamer consensus sequence (TPA responsive element (TRE)), whereas Jun-ATF dimers bind the cyclic AMP responsive element (CRE) to regulate transcription of target genes.[ PubMed:20060892 PubMed:9069263 ]

Also Known As

"Activating protein 1 complex" ; "AP-1 complex" ; "AP1 complex" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
