“…Moreover, the e cient suppression of transcription by deletion of the AP-1 motif or the mutation of one of the other motifs documents a cooperativity in the transactivation from the hp53 promoter between AP-1, NF-kB, and Myc/Max. A transcriptional cooperativity that involves AP-1 and NF-kB has also been described for promoters of other genes like MHC class I (H-2K b , Brockmann et al, 1996), E-Selectin (Kaszubska et al, 1993), I-kBa (Kralova et al, 1996), IL-8 (Yasumoto et al, 1992) and IFNb (Du W et al, 1993), either involving direct (Stein et al, 1993) or indirect (Gerritsen et al, 1997) physical interaction of the respective transcription factors.
