The cyclic AMP sensor, EPAC1, activates AP1-mediated transcription in HUVECs. Correspondingly, induction of the SOCS3 minimal promoter by EPAC1 requires a single AP1 site that constitutively binds phosphorylated (Ser63) c-Jun in DNA-pull-down assays. c-Jun (Ser63) becomes further phosphorylated following cyclic AMP stimulation and specific activation of protein kinase A (PKA), but not through selective activation of EPAC1. Moreover, despite a requirement for c-Jun for SOCS3 induction in fibroblasts, phospho-null c-Jun (Ser63/73Ala) had little effect on SOCS3 induction by cyclic AMP in HUVECs. AP1 activation and SOCS3 induction by EPAC1 in HUVECs therefore occur independently of c-Jun phosphorylation on Ser63.
环腺苷酸传感器 EPAC1 激活 HUVECs 中的 AP1 介导的转录。相应地,EPAC1 诱导 SOCS3 最小启动子需要一个单个的 AP1 位点,该位点在 DNA 下拉实验中持续结合磷酸化(Ser63)的 c-Jun。c-Jun(Ser63)在环 AMP 刺激和蛋白激酶 A(PKA)的特异性激活后进一步磷酸化,但不是通过 EPAC1 的选择性激活。此外,尽管 c-Jun 是成纤维细胞中 SOCS3 诱导所必需的,但磷酸化缺失的 c-Jun(Ser63/73Ala)对 HUVECs 中环 AMP 诱导的 SOCS3 诱导几乎没有影响。因此,EPAC1 在 HUVECs 中对 AP1 的激活和 SOCS3 的诱导独立于 c-Jun 的 Ser63 磷酸化。
