Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/US91/06848 Sec. 371 Date May 3, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date May 3, 1994 PCT Filed Sep. 20, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/05447 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 2, 1992Hormone receptors and the transcription factor Jun/AP-1 have been shown to reciprocally repress one another by a mechanism which is independent of DNA binding. For example, over-expression of AP-1 represses glucocorticoid-induced activation of genes carrying a functional glucocorticoid response element. Conversely, glucocorticoid has been shown to repress the transcriptional activation of genes which are controlled by promoters which contain the AP-1 binding site. In addition, methods are disclosed for selecting compounds useful for treating cells undergoing uncontrolled proliferation, such compounds being capable of disrupting the function of AP-1, but display substantially no ability to promote the transcriptional activation of hormone responsive genes.
