摘要
The ternary complex factors (TCF) are a subfamily of ETS domain transcription factors that bind and activate serum response elements (SREs) in the promoters of target genes in a ternary complex with a second transcription factor, serum response factor (SRF). Here, we have identified the SRF gene as a target for the TCFs, thereby providing a positive feedback loop whereby TCF activation leads to the enhancement of the expression of its partner protein SRF. The binding of the TCF Elk-1 to the SRF promoter and subsequent regulation of SRF expression occurs in a ternary complex-dependent manner. Our data therefore reveal that SRF is an important target for the ERK and Rho signaling pathways that converge on a ternary TCF-SRF complex at the SRE on the SRF promoter.
