The amino-terminal domain of the androgen receptor co-opts extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) docking sites in ELK1 protein to induce sustained gene activation that supports prostate cancer cell growth (2016)
Journal Article
Rosati, R., Patki, M., Chari, V., Dakshnamurthy, S., McFall, T., Saxton, J., …Ratnam, M. (2016). The amino-terminal domain of the androgen receptor co-opts extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) docking sites in ELK1 protein to induce sustained gene activation that supports prostate cancer cell growth. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 291(50), 25983-25998. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M116.745596

The ETS domain transcription factor ELK1 is in a repressive association with growth genes and is transiently activated through phosphorylation by ERK1/2. In prostate cancer (PCa) cells the androgen receptor (AR) is recruited by ELK1, via its amino-te...

Stepwise evolution of Elk-1 in early deuterostomes (2016)
Journal Article
Saxton, J., Ferjentsik, Z., Ducker, C., & Shaw, P. E. (in press). Stepwise evolution of Elk-1 in early deuterostomes. FEBS Journal, 283(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.13607

Metazoans have multiple ETS paralogues with overlapping or indiscriminate biological functions. Elk- 1, one of three mammalian Ternary Complex Factors (TCFs), is a well-conserved, ETS domain-containing transcriptional regulator of mitogen-responsive...
