Abstract
fra-1 encodes a serum-inducible protein (Fra-1) that is antigenically related to Fos. We have characterized Fra-1 expression in serum-stimulated cells using antibodies raised against several regions of this protein. Fra-1, expressed transiently in COS cells or in serum-stimulated rat fibroblasts, undergoes extensive post-translational modification, primarily by phosphorylation of serine residues. It is present in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm and participates in a protein complex with Jun. Using proteins synthesized in reticulocyte lysates, we have shown that Fra-1, like Fos, binds to the AP-1 recognition element cooperatively with Jun. A truncated Fra-1 protein that contains the leucine zipper region but not an adjacent basic amino acid domain, complexes with Jun in vitro but fails to bind AP-1 oligonucleotides. These results demonstrate that Fra-1 contributes to the DNA-binding activity ascribed to transcription factor AP-1.
