Disease relevance of Elk3

  • In a mouse model of endotoxemia, the expression of Elk-3 in kidney, lung, and heart was significantly down-regulated after systemic administration of LPS, and this down-regulation also preceded NOS2 induction [1].
  • Mycobacterium marinum Erp is a virulence determinant required for cell wall integrity and intracellular survival [2].
  • B. burgdorferi Erp (OspE-F related lipoprotein) family members are encoded on members of the 32 kb circular plasmid-like prophage family (cp32s) [3].
 

High impact information on Elk3

  • The transcription factor Net is activated by phosphorylation induced by Ras, an indirect regulator of angiogenesis [4].
  • However, Net differs from Elk1 and SAP1 in a number of ways [5].
  • The study of Net should help in understanding the interplay between Net and other members of the Elk subfamily and their contribution to signal transduction through Ras to the nucleus [5].
  • We show that Net inhibits transcription under basal conditions, in which SAP-1a is inactive and ELK-1 stimulates [6].
  • The ternary complex factor Net regulates cell migration through inhibition of PAI-1 expression [7].
 

Biological context of Elk3

 

Anatomical context of Elk3

  • Moreover, TGF-beta 1 significantly increased endogenous Elk-3 mRNA levels that had been down-regulated by LPS in macrophages [1].
  • When nuclear extracts of COS-7 cells expressing various Ets family repressors were incubated with DNA probes, binding of Net to the probes was observed [8].
  • The major CQE1-binding proteins in HeLa cell nuclear extract was recognized by anti-Elk-1 or anti-Sap-1a antibodies in electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and recombinant Elk-1, Sap-1a, or Net specifically recognized CQE1 [11].
  • Elk-3 and Caspase-7 were not expressed in vitro in cultured cell lines, suggesting that their expression was induced by the tumor microenvironment [12].
  • Many Erp proteins serve as receptors for the complement inhibitory factor H molecules of numerous vertebrate hosts, providing one mechanism by which the bacteria potentially evade the innate immune system [3].
 

Regulatory relationships of Elk3

  • The present study demonstrates that of several ternary complex factor subfamily members, only Elk-3 represses HO-1 promoter activity in macrophages [10].
  • Furthermore, Elk-3 can suppress the activity of Ets-2 as the transcriptional activator on the EndoA enhancer [13].
 

Other interactions of Elk3

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Elk3

  • We studied Net expression during mouse development (E7.5-E18.5) by in situ hybridization [14].
  • Molecular cloning of Elk-3, a new member of the Ets family expressed during mouse embryogenesis and analysis of its transcriptional repression activity [13].
  • Indirect immunofluorescence analyses (IFA) have demonstrated that Erp expression is temporally regulated throughout the mammal-tick infectious cycle, indicating that Erp proteins perform an important role (or even roles) during mammalian infection [3].
