Target data

Function

Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, FOS and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. On TGF-beta activation, forms a multimeric SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP1/SMAD-binding site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated signaling. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A. This activity requires Tyr-dephosphorylation and association with the endoplasmic reticulum.

Activity summary

The c-Fos protein also known as c-Fos is a component of the Fos family of transcription factors which includes FosB Fra-1 and Fra-2. These proteins play a role in regulating gene expression. c-Fos has a molecular weight of about 55 kDa. You usually find c-Fos expressed in various tissues including the brain providing a marker for neuronal activity and is often induced in response to stimuli like stress growth factors and mitogens. In research settings c-Fos staining and c-Fos immunohistochemistry are techniques commonly used to study activation patterns in cells and tissues.

Biological function summary

C-Fos acts as part of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) complex a group of DNA-binding proteins that regulate gene transcription. This complex forms when c-Fos and Jun proteins dimerize. The AP-1 complex controls several cellular processes such as proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. Due to its participation in these vital processes c-Fos influences cellular responses to external stimuli and can affect how cells behave under stress.

Pathways

C-Fos significantly contributes to the MAPK/ERK pathway which plays a role in cell growth and differentiation. It partners with Jun proteins to form functional transcription factors within the MAPK signaling cascade. Additionally c-Fos is involved in the JNK signaling pathway linking it to stress responses and apoptosis. These pathways highlight the partnerships between c-Fos and other proteins like ERK and JNK indicating their intertwined roles in cellular signaling networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers associate c-Fos with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer c-Fos expression correlates with changes in AP-1 activity which can lead to altered cell growth and proliferation potentially contributing to tumor formation. Its involvement in neurodegenerative diseases reveals its role in neuron apoptosis and cellular stress responses. In these scenarios proteins like Bcl-2 also play a part with CDK1 sharing connections in processes that affect cell cycle and apoptosis illustrating c-Fos's broad significance in both normal and pathological conditions.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab134122 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab134122, 1/10000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-c-Fos antibody [EPR883(2)] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (Anti-Calnexin antibody [CANX/1543] ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab134122 was shown to bind specifically to c-Fos. A band was observed at 45-55 kDa in treated wild-type PC-12 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in FOS knockout cell line ab281615 (knockout cell lysate ab283111). Treatment of NGF has no observable affect on protein expression in this cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and FOS knockout PC-12 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween$®$ 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
