Also known as: AP-1
Summary: The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a member of the JUN family, and a functional component of the AP1 transcription factor complex. This protein has been proposed to protect cells from p53-dependent senescence and apoptosis. Alternative translation initiation site usage results in the production of different isoforms (PMID:12105216). [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

In T cells, after serum deprivation HBZ induces the expression of Delta JunD isoform. Unlike JunD, Delta JunD induces proliferation and transformation of cells. HBZ bypasses translational control of JunD uORF and favors the expression of Delta JunD. The truncated isoform Delta JunD has a central role in the oncogenic process leading to adult T-cell leukemia .

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001286968.2 → NP_001273897.1 transcription factor JunD isoform deltaJunD

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes two isoforms resulting from the use of alternative in-frame translation initiation codons. The longer isoform (JunD-FL) is derived from an upstream AUG (S1 ORF, PMID:12105216), while the shorter isoform (deltaJunD) is derived from a downstream AUG (S3 ORF, PMID:12105216). This RefSeq represents the shorter isoform (deltaJunD).
