RESUMO
The protooncogene c-jun encodes a component of the transcription factor AP-1. Both murine c-jun and a related gene (jun-B) are rapidly activated in BALB/c3T3 cells by serum growth factors. We report here the cloning and analysis of a cDNA encoding a third member of the murine jun family, jun-D. The amino acid sequence encoded by jun-D has two extensive regions of homology with the other Jun proteins. One homology region includes the DNA-binding domain and sequences required for dimer formation and interaction with the Fos oncoprotein; the other includes the acidic sequence thought to be involved in gene activation. All three jun mRNAs are present in a variety of murine tissues and cell lines. In resting 3T3 cells, jun-D is expressed at a higher level compared to c-jun and jun-B, and its transcription is stimulated only slightly by serum growth factors. Thus, jun-D appears to be regulated differently than c-jun and jun-B.
