1. Effect of mutations of the SRE and RCE on the Akt activation of the Fra-1 promoter.
Effect of mutations of the SRE and RCE on the Akt activation of the Fra-1 promoter. The pFra4 reporter plasmid was mutated in either the SRE (mSRE) or the two RCE elements (mRCE1 and mRCE2) individually (A) or together (B). The reporter constructs were co-transfected with the control Renilla luciferase plasmid and either constitutively active Akt3 or the pcDNA3.1 vector as indicated. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the cells were lysed and luciferase activities measured. Results shown are the means ± SE of three independent experiments where the amount of firefly luciferase activity was normalized to the amount of Renilla luciferase activity measured in each sample.
