Background

Function
c-Fos is an immediate-early gene product and transcription factor that functions as a central mediator of stimulus-dependent gene expression, linking transient extracellular signals to long-term cellular responses through regulation of downstream target genes[1]. Mechanistically, c-Fos belongs to the Fos family and forms the activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex through dimerization with Jun family proteins, thereby regulating genes involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation, development, plasticity, and survival[4][3][2]. c-Fos expression is rapidly induced by neuronal activity, calcium- and cAMP-dependent signaling, and other environmental stimuli, making it a widely used molecular marker of cellular activation and stimulus-transcription coupling in experimental systems[1][3]. In disease and experimental models, c-Fos has been extensively employed to map activated neuronal populations during seizures, learning, memory formation, and behavioral responses, providing a framework for investigating neural circuit function and activity-dependent transcriptional programs[1][3]. Compared with related Fos family members, including FosB, Fra-1 (FOSL1), and Fra-2 (FOSL2), c-Fos contains a C-terminal transactivation domain and exhibits distinctive transcriptional regulatory properties within AP-1 complexes[4]. For experimental applications, c-Fos is primarily used as an activity-dependent biomarker rather than a direct pharmacological target, enabling quantitative assessment of cellular activation, neural network recruitment, and stimulus-responsive signaling pathways in neuroscience and molecular biology research[3][5].

Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification
P01100 has 3 isomers: P01100-1: 40695 Da (predicted); P01100-2: 28986 Da (predicted); P01100-3: 36301 Da (predicted).
Phosphorylated in the C-terminal upon stimulation by nerve growth factor (NGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Phosphorylated, in vitro, by MAPK and RSK1. Phosphorylation on both Ser-362 and Ser-374 by MAPK1/2 and RSK1/2 leads to protein stabilization with phosphorylation on Ser-374 being the major site for protein stabilization on NGF stimulation. Phosphorylation on Ser-362 and Ser-374 primes further phosphorylations on Thr-325 and Thr-331 through promoting docking of MAPK to the DEF domain. Phosphorylation on Thr-232, induced by HA-RAS, activates the transcriptional activity and antagonizes sumoylation. Phosphorylation on Ser-362 by RSK2 in osteoblasts contributes to osteoblast transformation (By similarity);Constitutively sumoylated with SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3. Desumoylated by SENP2. Sumoylation requires heterodimerization with JUN and is enhanced by mitogen stimulation. Sumoylation inhibits the AP-1 transcriptional activity and is, itself, inhibited by Ras-activated phosphorylation on Thr-232;In quiescent cells, the small amount of FOS present is phosphorylated at Tyr-10 and Tyr-30 by SRC. This Tyr-phosphorylated form is cytosolic. In growing cells, dephosphorylated by PTPN2. Dephosphorylation leads to the association with endoplasmic reticulum membranes and activation of phospholipid synthesis -
Subunit
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 TSC22D3 (via N-terminus); 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)
