Davies CC, Chakraborty A, Diefenbacher ME, Skehel M, Behrens A. Arginine methylation of the c-Jun coactivator RACO-1 is required for c-Jun/AP-1 activation.  EMBO J. 2013 [Abstract].
RACO-1 methylation is required for c-Jun/AP-1 activation.

Tumour development requires many changes in cells to enable them to grow and divide uncontrollably, and one of the master regulators that can coordinate these changes is the transcription factor c-Jun/AP-1. [read more]
