25. Proliferative signaling initiated in ACTH receptors
This article reviews recent results of studies aiming to elucidate modes of integrating signals initiated in ACTH receptors and FGF2 receptors, within the network system of signal transduction found in Y1 adrenocortical cells. These modes of signal integration should be central to the mechanisms underlying the regulation of the G0->G1->S transition in the ad

26. Induction of Fos protein immunoreactivity by spinal cord contusion
The objective of the present study was to identify neurons in the central nervous system that respond to spinal contusion injury in the rat by monitoring the expression of the nuclear protein encoded by the c-fos gene, an activity-dependent gene, in spinal cord and brainstem regions. Rats were anesthetized with urethane and the injury was produced by droppin

27. Involvement of the caudal raphe nuclei in the feeding behavior of rats
Involvement of the caudal raphe nuclei (raphe pallidus, RPa; raphe magnus, RMg, and raphe obscurus, ROb) in feeding behavior of adult rats was studied by measuring c-Fos protein expression, in animals submitted to the "meal-feeding" model of food restriction in which the rats were fed ad libitum only from 7:00 to 9:00 h, for 15 days. The experimental groups

28. Unusual c-fos induction upon chromaffin PC12 differentiation by sodium butyrate: loss of fos autoregulatory function.
Induction of PC12 pheochromocytoma cells neuronal differentiation upon treatment with nerve growth factor (NGF) is accompanied by a coupled stimulation of c-fos and c-jun oncogene transcription. We found that induction of c-fos and c-jun proto-oncogene mRNAs levels following the endocrine differentiation of PC12 cells by sodium butyrate is uncoupled. While c

29. Inhibitory effect of myristylation on transrepression by FBR (Gag-Fos) protein.
The myristylated v-fos product, FBR murine sarcoma virus (Gag-Fos) protein, exhibits a lower level of transrepression of the serum response element (SRE) than does c-fos protein (Fos). Mutation of the N-terminal myristylation site in FBR protein restored SRE transrepression. Replacement of N-terminal viral Gag sequences with the Fos N terminus also restored

30. Modification of fos proteins: phosphorylation of c-fos, but not v-fos, is stimulated by 12-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate and serum.
We have investigated the covalent modification of the proteins encoded by the murine fos proto-oncogene (c-fos) and that of the corresponding gene product of FBJ murine osteosarcoma virus (v-fos). Both proteins are posttranslationally processed in the cell, resulting in forms with lower electrophoretic mobilities than that of the initial translation product

31. Induction of apoptosis by c-Fos protein.
The role of c-Fos in apoptosis was examined in two Syrian hamster embryo cell lines (sup+I and sup-II) and a human colorectal carcinoma cell line (RKO), using the chimeric Fos-estrogen receptor fusion protein c-FosER. As previously reported, contrasting responses were observed when these two cell lines were placed under growth factor deprivation conditions;

32. Activation of the transforming potential of the human fos proto-oncogene requires message stabilization and results in increased amounts of partially modified fos protein.
The requirements for activation of the transformation potential of the human c-fos proto-oncogene were investigated. Recombinant plasmids containing the Moloney murine leukemia virus long terminal repeat directing transcription of the c-fos coding region and either the authentic c-fos 3' untranslated region (UTR) or the 3' UTR from human c-myc were inefficie

33. fra-1: a serum-inducible, cellular immediate-early gene that encodes a fos-related antigen.
A set of proteins antigenically related to the c-fos protein (Fos) are induced by serum in fibroblasts. To isolate cDNA clones of genes encoding such proteins, a lambda gt11 expression cDNA library constructed from serum-stimulated rat fibroblasts was screened with antibodies raised against a hydrophilic region (amino acids 127 to 152) of Fos. One of the pos

34. Antisense rescue defines specialized and generalized functional domains for c-Fos protein.
Serum induces the expression of a number of proteins with similar transcriptional properties, including those encoded by the proto-oncogenes c-fos and c-jun. This study employs a novel antisense rescue method to determine whether antisense-resistant genes (constructed by deletion of antisense RNA target sequences) can replace c-fos expression during serum-in

35. The product of a novel growth factor activated gene, fos B, interacts with JUN proteins enhancing their DNA binding activity.
We have identified a gene, fos B, encoding a nuclear protein of 338 amino acids presenting a 70% homology with c-fos, whose expression is activated during G0/G1 transition. Growth factor stimulation of quiescent cells leads to a rapid and transient accumulation of fos B mRNA, with kinetics similar to those of c-fos. The induction of fos B mRNA levels is in p

36. Degradation of c-Fos by the 26S proteasome is accelerated by c-Jun and multiple protein kinases.
c-Fos is associated with c-Jun to increase the transcription of a number of target genes and is a nuclear proto-oncoprotein with a very short half-life. This instability of c-Fos may be important in regulation of the normal cell cycle. Here we report a mechanism for degradation of c-Fos. Coexpression of c-Fos and c-Jun in HeLa cells caused marked increase in
