Abstract excerpt
The AP-1 transcription factor plays an essential role in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. It was previously shown that the fra-1 gene product is upregulated by various oncogenes and is involved in the in vitro and in vivo transformation of thyroid cells. Here we show that the ras oncogene-dependent accumulation of Fra-1 is mediated by a positive feedback mechanism which requires both transcriptional...
