Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that human matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) is a p53 target gene subject to down-regulation (Sun et al. [1999]: J Biol Chem 274:11535-11540]. In the present study, we demonstrate that the down-regulation of the human -83MMP1 promoter fragment by p53 was abolished when the -72AP-1 site was eliminated and that a GAL4-cJun-mediated but not a GAL4-Elk1-mediated induction of pFR-luci was...
