Jun: the protooncogene c-Jun is a component of the transcription factor AP-1, which binds and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements. The Jun Kinases (JNKs) binds to the N-terminal region of c-Jun and phosphorylate it in response to extracellular signals including growth factors, cytokines and stress, regulating its transcriptional activity.
