Abstract
I show, by in situ hybridization, that c-fos is expressed in the nervous system during mouse development. This expression was found to be restricted to specific regions at late stages of development (day 16 postcoitum), particularly to the spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, and olfactory lobe. The c-fos protein may play a role in the maturation of these structures by activating specific genes.

NatureStimulation of 3T3 cells induces transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene
3,174 Citations1984Michael E. Greenberg, Edward B. Ziff
Transcription of the c-fos proto-oncogene is greatly increased within minutes of administering purified growth factors to quiescent 3T3 cells, and this stimulation is the most rapid transcriptional response to peptide growth factors yet described, implying a role for c- fos in cell-cycle control.
NatureInduction of c-fos-like protein in spinal cord neurons following sensory stimulation
1,987 Citations1987Stephen P. Hunt, Adrian Pini +1 more
Physiological stimulation of rat primary sensory neurons causes the expression of c-fos-protein-like immunoreactivity in nuclei of postsynaptic neurons of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, suggesting that synaptic transmission may induce rapid changes in gene expression in certain post Synaptic neurons.
NatureInduction of c-fos gene and protein by growth factors precedes activation of c-myc
1,417 Citations1984Rolf Müller, Rodrigo Bravo +2 more
Stimulation of fibroblasts with serum or purified growth factors leads to a dramatic induction of expression of both c-fos mRNA and protein within a few minutes, followed by activation of c-myc.
CellA zinc finger-encoding gene coregulated with c-fos during growth and differentiation, and after cellular depolarization
1,291 Citations1988Vikas P. Sukhatme, Xinmin Cao +10 more
Sequence analysis of murine Egr-1 cDNA predicts a protein with three DNA binding zinc fingers, and results suggest that EGR1 may function as a transcriptional regulator in diverse biological processes.
NatureThe long and the short of long–term memory—a molecular framework
1,028 Citations1986Philip Goelet, Vincent F. Castellucci +2 more
A single learning event initiates several memory processes with different time courses of retention, and the finding that long-term memory requires the expression, during learing, of additional genes makes it possible to analyse in molecular terms the induction and retention of long- term memory.
NatureRole of ion flux in the control of c-fos expression
1,005 Citations1986James I. Morgan, Tom Curran
It is demonstrated that c-fos is induced in PC12 cells either by receptor–ligand interaction or by agents or conditions that effect voltage-dependent calcium channels.
ScienceStimulation of Neuronal Acetylcholine Receptors Induces Rapid Gene Transcription
767 Citations1986Michael E. Greenberg, Edward B. Ziff +1 more
It is suggested that neurotransmitters may rapidly activate specific gene transcription in nondividing neuronally differentiated cells and a functional role for neurotransmitter induction of c-fos and actin expression in the nervous system is suggested.
NatureKindling stimulation induces c-fos protein(s) in granule cells of the rat dentate gyrus
575 Citations1987Mike Dragunow, H.A. Robertson
It is reported that electrically-induced seizure activity, which leads to a permanent increase in the response of the brain to future seizures (kindling9), rapidly and transiently increases c-fos protein-like immunoreac-tivity in the nuclei of granule cells in the rat dentate gyrus.

The protein level and binding activity of Fos and Fos-related antigens increase rapidly after calcium ionophore treatment of a CD4+ human lymphoblast cell line, H9, and suggest that several proteins may associate with the AP-1 binding site.

It is proposed that while fos gene induction is associated with the differentiation of PC12 cells to sympathetic nerve, its enhanced expression is primarily involved in the anabolic responses induced by NGF and many growth factors.

It is reported that generalized tonic-clonic seizures in mice are associated with a massive increase in c-fos protein-like immunoreactivity in the cingulate and piriform cortices and the dentate gyrus 1 h after injection of pentylenetetrazol, which suggests that seizure activity induces the formation of c- fos proteins in selective brain regions.

The finding that Fos protein from native or denatured nuclear extracts exhibited DNA-binding activity in vitro suggests that fos is involved in the regulation of gene expression.

197 Citations1985David J. Anderson, Richard Axel
The results support the idea that the phenotypic plasticity of neural crest derivatives reflects a common precursor, the multipotentiality of which is sustained through terminal differentiation.

154 Citations1984Lawrence W. Stanton, Paul D. Fahrlander +2 more
The nucleotide sequence of the normal murine c-myc gene shows that qualitative changes of the c- myc gene product are not required for ontogenesis in murine plasmacytomas, and mutations are found in coding18 and non-coding14 regions of translocated c-Myc genes from Burkitt's lymphomas, suggesting that the mechanisms by which c-MYc is activated in plasmACYtomas and Burkitt’s lymphomas are different.

It is demonstrated here that stage-specific expression of the proto-oncogene c-fos in mouse embryos is restricted to the peri-chondrial growth regions of the cartilaginous skeleton, and a tissue-specific regulatory role of c- fos during differentiation-dependent growth processes of fetal bone and mesodermal web tissue is suggested.

This study has identified in quiescent cells five DNase I‐hypersensitive sites located ‐1700, ‐290, +10, +240 and +700 bp relative to the 5′ cap site, and point to the existence of other sequence elements that exert negative regulation in the absence of growth factor stimulation.

The complete amino acid sequence of the murine finger‐containing gene mKr2 was determined and it is confirmed that mKR2 belongs to the same class of developmentally expressed genes as Drosophila Krüppel and hunchback and the presence of metal ion and DNA‐binding finger domains similar to those identified in TFIIIA supports the hypothesis that these genes regulate transcription.
