Structural basis for reactivating the mutant TERT promoter by cooperative binding of p52 and ETS1

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptional factors ETS1/2 and p52 synergize downstream of non-canonical NF-κB signaling to drive reactivation of the -146C>T mutant TERT promoter in multiple cancer types, but the mechanism underlying this cooperativity remains unknown. Here we report the crystal structure of a ternary p52/ETS1/-146C>T TERT promoter complex. While p52 needs to associate with consensus κB sites on the DNA to function during...
