DESCRIPTION

Also known as JUN_HUMAN, JUN. Transcription factor that recognizes and binds to the AP-1 consensus motif 5'-TGA[GC]TCA-3' (PubMed:10995748, PubMed:22083952). Heterodimerizes with proteins of the FOS family to form an AP-1 transcription complex, thereby enhancing its DNA binding activity to the AP-1 consensus sequence 5'-TGA[GC]TCA-3' and enhancing its transcriptional activity (By similarity). Together with FOSB, plays a role in activation-induced cell death of T cells by binding to the AP-1 promoter site of FASLG/CD95L, and inducing its transcription in response to activation of the TCR/CD3 signaling pathway (PubMed:12618758). Promotes activity of NR5A1 when phosphorylated by HIPK3 leading to increased steroidogenic gene expression upon cAMP signaling pathway stimulation (PubMed:17210646). Involved in activated KRAS-mediated transcriptional activation of USP28 in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed:24623306). Binds to the USP28 promoter in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed:24623306). Heterodimer with either BATF3 or ATF7 (PubMed:10376527, PubMed:12087103, PubMed:15467742). Heterodimer with FOS (By similarity). Heterodimer with FOSB isoform 1 and 2 (By similarity). Component of an AP-1 transcription factor complex composed of JUN-FOS heterodimers (By similarity). As part of the AP-1 transcription factor complex, forms heterodimers with FOSB, thereby binding to the AP-1 consensus sequence and stimulating transcription (By similarity). Interacts with FOS and FOSB isoform 1 and 2 (By similarity). The ATF7/JUN heterodimer is essential for ATF7 transactivation activity (PubMed:10376527). Interacts with DSIPI; the interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA (By similarity). Interacts with HIVEP3 and MYBBP1A (By similarity). Interacts with SP1, SPIB and TCF20 (PubMed:10196196, PubMed:16478997, PubMed:8663478). Interacts with COPS5; the interaction leads indirectly to its phosphorylation (PubMed:8837781). Component of the SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS/complex which forms at the AP1 promoter site (PubMed:10995748). The SMAD3/SMAD4 heterodimer acts synergistically with the JUN/FOS heterodimer to activate transcription in response to TGF-beta (PubMed:9732876). Interacts (via its basic DNA binding and leucine zipper domains) with SMAD3 (via an N-terminal domain); the interaction is required for TGF-beta-mediated transactivation of the SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS/complex (PubMed:10995748). Interacts with methylated RNF187 (PubMed:20852630, PubMed:23624934). Binds to HIPK3. Interacts (when phosphorylated) with FBXW7 (PubMed:14739463). Found in a complex with PRR7 and FBXW7 (PubMed:27458189). Interacts with PRR7 and FBXW7; the interaction inhibits ubiquitination-mediated JUN degradation promoting its phosphorylation and transcriptional activity (PubMed:27458189). Interacts with RBM39 (By similarity). Interacts with PAGE4 (PubMed:24263171, PubMed:24559171, PubMed:26242913).
