The response of a cell to mitogens and differentiation agents involves the transcriptional induction of several cellular genes. Prominent among these so-called 'immediate early' or 'competence' genes are the nuclear oncogenesfosandmycl–7. Although the precise function of these early response genes in growth control is not understood, it is likely that many of them are involved in the transition from G0to G1in the cell cycle. The findings that the products of nuclear proto-oncogenesjunanderbAare transcriptional factors supports the notion of the role of the nuclear oncoproteins in the regulation of gene expression8–11. Recently, it has been reported that the FOS protein is associated in transcriptional complexes with the product of thejunoncogene, the transcription factor AP-1 (refs 12–15). As thefosgene is induced in response to mitogens during initiation of cell growth, we investigated whether expression of the nuclear transcription factor AP-1 is also inducible. We report that mousec-jungene transcription is rapidly induced by serum and phorbol-ester 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Furthermore, induction is transient and the mRNA is superinduced by inhibitors of protein synthesis.
