Abstract

The time course and signal-transduction requirements for proto-oncogene c-jun expression in T-cells were investigated. Expression of c-jun mRNA was evident at 30 min after stimulation. Both the activation of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent kinase as well as an increased intracellular free Ca2+ concentration were necessary for the maximal induction of c-jun mRNA and synthesis of Jun protein 1 h after stimulation.
