The role of regulated phosphorylation in the biological activity of transcription factors SRF and Elk-1/SAP-1.
The promoters of many genes whose expression is rapidly and transiently increased upon growth factor or mitogen stimulation of susceptible cells harbor a common regulatory element, the serum response element (SRE). The transcription factors that interact with the SRE of these immediate-early genes are being intensively studied so as to elucidate the signal transduction cascades that link cell surface receptors to the SRE, and to determine the mechanisms by which signal-dependent phosphorylation events modulate their function.
