title: The oncogene jun and nuclear signalling.
abstract: Jun is a transcription factor that can also induce oncogenic transformation. Its DNA-binding domain is conserved from yeast to man and shows homology to several other transcriptional regulators. Jun dimerizes with the fos protein through an alpha-helical domain termed the leucine zipper, and the jun-fos heterodimers bind to DNA and regulate transcription of numerous specific unlinked genes.
