NO activation of fos promoter elements requires nuclear translocation of G-kinase I and CREB phosphorylation but is independent of MAP kinase activation.

Abstract excerpt

We have shown that nitric oxide (NO) regulates c-fos gene expression via cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase), but NO's precise mechanism of action is unclear. We now demonstrate that: (1) NO targets two transcriptional elements in the fos promoter, i.e., the fos AP-1 binding site and the cAMP-response element (CRE); (2) NO activation of these two enhancer elements requires the CRE binding protein CREB...
