Definition of 'Immediate-Early Proteins'

Proteins that are coded by immediate-early genes, in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral regulatory proteins that were synthesized just after viral integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular proteins which are synthesized immediately after the resting cell is stimulated by extracellular signals.

Common names: Immediate-Early Proteins; Immediate Early Proteins; Proteins, Immediate-Early; Proteins, Immediate Early

Oncogenic human papillomaviruses block expression of the B-cell translocation gene-2 tumor suppressor gene.

30 Oct 2009 Human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced carcinogenesis is critically dependent on the activities of the viral E6 and E7 oncogenes. Here, we demonstrate that expression of the putative tumor suppressor gene B-cell translocation gene-2 (BTG2) is reinduced ... Read more...


Glucocorticoids can activate the alpha-ENaC gene promoter independently of SGK1.

23 Sep 2009 The role of SGK1 (serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1) in the glucocorticoid induction of alpha-ENaC (epithelial Na+ channel alpha subunit) gene transcription was explored by monitoring the transcriptional activity of a ... Read more...


AP2gamma regulates basal progenitor fate in a region- and layer-specific manner in the developing cortex.

11 Sep 2009 An important feature of the cerebral cortex is its layered organization, which is modulated in an area-specific manner. We found that the transcription factor AP2gamma regulates laminar fate in a region-specific manner. Deletion of AP2gamma (also ... Read more...
