Caspase cleavage of Ets-1 p51 generates fragments with transcriptional dominant-negative function.

Abstract excerpt

Ets-1 is a transcription factor that plays an important role in various physiological and pathological processes, such as development, angiogenesis, apoptosis and tumour invasion. In the present study, we have demonstrated that Ets-1 p51, but not the spliced variant Ets-1 p42, is processed in a caspase-dependent manner in Jurkat T-leukaemia cells undergoing apoptosis, resulting in three C-terminal fragments Cp20,...
