title: Co-factors p300 and CBP catch Egr1 in their network.
abstract: p300 and CBP are large (300 kDa) nuclear scaffold proteins that act as co-activators of transcription in most cell types and are over-expressed in prostate cancer. Recently, the Egr1 transcription factor was shown to up- or down-regulate p300 and CBP transcription based on the nature of its post-translational modification. Notably, interactions of the three proteins provide fine tuning for Egr1-induced growth or cell death responses.
