摘要

The ternary complex factors (TCFs) represent a subfamily of ETS-domain transcription factors. In recent years, several significant advances have been made in our understanding of their function at the molecular level. Many aspects of TCF function are conserved with other ETS-domain proteins and with transcription factors from other families, therefore these studies contribute more generally to our understanding of transcription factor function. Structural and biochemical studies have furthered our understanding of protein-DNA recognition by the TCFs. Furthermore, significant insights into the regulation of TCF activity by phosphorylation have been achieved. The TCFs have developed as a paradigm for nuclear targets of MAP kinase pathways and further advances have been made into understanding the specificity of kinase action towards the TCFs. The TCFs are known to bind to multiple protein partners which have roles in up- and down-regulating their activity, recruitment to DNA and transmission of transcriptional activation and repression signals. Finally, our understanding of the role of TCFs in specific biological processes is starting to become clearer, with roles defined in immediate-early gene regulation in a neuronal context.
