Identification of amino acids essential for DNA binding and dimerization in p67SRF: implications for a novel DNA-binding motif.

abstract：:Overexpression of the nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) in breast cancer patients is a prognostic factor for decreased survival and increased metastasis, and this has been linked to NR4A1-dependent regulation of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling. Results of RNA interference studies demonstrate that basal migra...
