The ets gene family

K Macleod et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

Ets proteins have a conserved DNA-binding domain and regulate transcriptional initiation from a variety of cellular and viral gene promoter and enhancer elements. Some members of the Ets family, Ets-1 and Ets-2, cooperate in transcription with the AP-1 transcription factor, the product of the proto-oncogene families, fos and jun, while others, Elk-1 and SAP-1, form ternary complexes with the serum response factor (SRF). Certain ets gene family members possess transforming activity while others are activated by proviral integration in erythroleukaemias.
