Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 2 and CHOP Restrict the Expression of the Growth Arrest-Specific p20K Lipocalin Gene to G0

Abstract

The activation of the growth arrest-specific (gas) p20K gene depends on the interaction of C/EBPβ with two elements of a 48-bp promoter region termed the quiescence-responsive unit (QRU). Here we identify extracellular signal-related kinase 2 (ERK2) as a transcriptional repressor of the p20K QRU in cycling chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF). ERK2 binds to repeated GAAAG sequences overlapping the C/EBPβ sites of the QRU. The recruitment of ERK2 …
