描述：

c-Jun Fusion Protein Beads能够选择性地沉降SAPK/JNK蛋白，同时它也是SAPK/JNK蛋白的有效底物，衡量SAPK/JNK蛋白的活性。这种重组融合蛋白来自于E. Coli，以50% c-Jun Fusion Protein Beads的悬浮液形式供应。在使用之前，将试管放在冰上5min，以降低缓冲液的粘性 ，然后通过倒置或轻微震荡的方式将protein beads重悬成50%的悬浮液。c-Jun是Jun家族的一个成员，Jun家族成员包括c-Jun, JunB, 和 JunD。c-Jun是转录因子激活蛋白-1（AP-1）的一个组分。AP-1是由Fos和Jun形成的二聚体以及 ATF家族成员组成的，能够结合并激活TRE/AP-1元件的转录（1）。包括生长因子，细胞因子和压力在内的细胞外信号能够激活AP-1依赖的转录过程。C-Jun的转录活性是通过SAPK/JNK对其中的Ser63和Ser73的磷酸化来调控的（2）。小鼠敲除实验表明c-Jun对于胚胎形成是至关重要的（3），进一步的研究发现c-Jun在多种组织和发育过程中发挥作用，包括轴突再生（4），肝脏再生（5）和T细胞发育（6）。AP-1所调控的基因发挥了多种生物学功能，包括细胞增殖、分化、凋亡、转化，侵润和转移，这依赖于细胞种类和具体情况（7-9）。其他的AP-1所调控的靶基因还能够调节细胞存亡，以及低氧和血管生成（8,10）。研究提示c-Jun可以作为癌症、血管重构、急性炎症反应和风湿性关节炎的重要治疗靶点（11,12）。

Description

c-Jun Fusion Protein Beads selectively "pull down" SAPK/JNK and also serve as a useful substrate to measure SAPK/JNK activity. It is expressed as a recombinant protein fusion to amino acid residues corresponding to c-Jun codons 1-89. The fusion protein is produced in E. coli and is supplied as a 50% slurry of c-Jun Fusion Protein beads.

Directions for Use

Prior to use, put the tube on ice for 5 minutes to lower viscosity of buffer. Then beads should be resuspended to a 50% slurry by inversion or gentle vortexing.

Background

c-Jun is a member of the Jun Family containing c-Jun, JunB and JunD, and is a component of the transcription factor AP-1 (activator protein-1). AP-1 is composed of dimers of Fos, Jun and ATF family members and binds to and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements (reviewed in 1). Extracellular signals including growth factors, chemokines and stress activate AP-1-dependent transcription. The transcriptional activity of c-Jun is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73 through SAPK/JNK (reviewed in 2). Knock-out studies in mice have shown that c-Jun is essential for embryogenesis (3), and subsequent studies have demonstrated roles for c-Jun in various tissues and developmental processes including axon regeneration (4), liver regeneration (5) and T cell development (6). AP-1 regulated genes exert diverse biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as transformation, invasion and metastasis, depending on cell type and context (7-9). Other target genes regulate survival as well as hypoxia and angiogenesis (8,10). c-Jun has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for cancer, vascular remodeling, acute inflammation, as well as rheumatoid arthritis (11,12).
