Background

The Fos gene family consists of 4 members: FOS, FOSB, FOSL1, and FOSL2. These genes encode leucine zipper proteins that can dimerize with proteins of the JUN family, thereby forming the transcription factor complex AP-1. As such, the FOS proteins have been implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. In some cases, expression of the FOS gene has also been associated with apoptotic cell death.

Interaction

Heterodimer; with JUN (By similarity). Component of the SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex required for synergistic TGF-beta-mediated transcription at the AP1 promoter site (PubMed:9732876). Interacts with SMAD3; the interaction is weak even on TGF-beta activation (PubMed:9732876). Interacts with MAFB (By similarity). Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA (By similarity). Interacts with CDS1 and PI4K2A (By similarity). Interacts (via bZIP domain and leucine-zipper region) with the multiprotein chromatin-remodeling complexes SWI/SNF: SWI/SNF-A (BAF) subunits SMARCB1, SMARCC2 and SMARCD1 (By similarity). Interacts (via bZIP domain and leucine-zipper region) with ARID1A (By similarity).
