DESCRIPTION

Also known as ELK1_HUMAN, ELK1. Transcription factor that binds to purine-rich DNA sequences. Forms a ternary complex with SRF and the ETS and SRF motifs of the serum response element (SRE) on the promoter region of immediate early genes such as FOS and IER2. Induces target gene transcription upon JNK-signaling pathway stimulation (By similarity). Interacts in its sumoylated form with PIAS2/PIASX which enhances its transcriptional activator activity (PubMed:15920481). Interacts with MAD2L2; the interaction is direct and promotes phosphorylation by the kinases MAPK8 and/or MAPK9 (PubMed:17296730). Interacts with POU1F1 (PubMed:26612202).
