“…Both PML and PML-RARa were shown to potentiate the transactivating functions of AP-1 (Jun/Fos) (Doucas et al, 1993;Vallian et al, 1998b), the steroid receptors (Guiochon-Mantel et al, 1995), and the hematopoietic transcription factor GATA-2 (Tsuzuki et al, 2000). Further investigations have established that PML does not interact directly with either Jun/Fos or steroid receptors but instead targets transcriptional accessory factors such as CBP and nuclear receptor cofactor TIF1a (Doucas et al, 1999;Vallian et al, 1998b;Zhong et al, 1999). CBP is a histone acetyltransferase that functions as a coactivator for diverse transcription factors including CREB, AP-1 (Jun and Fos), nuclear receptors (NR) and p53 (reviewed in Giles et al, 1998;Shikama et al, 1997).…”
