The c-Jun protein is a member of transcription factors which consist of a basic region leucine zipper region [1]. All these leucine zipper factors bind to DNA in one of two states: homo or heterodimers [1].. In conjunction with the c-Fos protein these two proteins bind to specific regions of DNA strands. Together these two proteins form the c-fos/c-jun complex which help regulate cell growth and differentiation [1]. Regulation of the complex iteslf is done by interactions between the protein and DNA in addition to the protein-protein interactions between each of the leucine zipper domains [1].
Introduction
C-Jun binds to specific DNA sites either in the homodimer or deterodimer forms with the aid of C-Fos protein [1]. C-Jun is a transcriptional activator [1]. C-jun, with the aid of C-Fos represents a crucial union between normal and uncontrolled cell growth as their combined role in the transduction of afferent growth signals the response of specific genes [1].
Structural Overview
This protein is a dimer that is completely symmetrical [2](a). It is comprised of coiled coil of two alpha helices [2]Proteopedia Page Contributors and Editors (what is this?)
