The Transcription Factor Encyclopedia [PDF]
AbstractHere we present the Transcription Factor Encyclopedia (TFe), a new web-based compendium of mini review articles on transcription factors (TFs) that is founded on the principles of open access and collaboration. Our consortium of over 100 researchers has collectively contributed over 130 mini review articles on pertinent human, mouse and rat TFs.

Eukaryotic transcription factors [PDF]
AbstractMany nuclear proteins have been found recently to interact with short conserved sequences which are involved in regulating the transcription of various genes. Nuclear transcription factors may be arbitrarily subdivided into two groups, ubiquitous and tissue‐specific.

The Human Transcription Factors [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) recognize specific DNA sequences to control chromatin and transcription, forming a complex system that guides expression of the genome. Despite keen interest in understanding how TFs control gene expression, it remains challenging to determine how the precise genomic binding sites of TFs are specified and how TF binding ...

FOXO transcription factors [PDF]
What are they? FOXO proteins are a subgroup of the Forkhead family of transcription factors. This family is characterized by a conserved DNA-binding domain (the ‘Forkhead box’, or FOX) and comprises more than 100 members in humans, classified from FOXA to FOXR on the basis of sequence similarity.

Transcription factors in microcephaly
Higher cognition in humans, compared to other primates, is often attributed to an increased brain size, especially forebrain cortical surface area. Brain size is determined through highly orchestrated developmental processes, including neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, lamination, arborization, and apoptosis.

Transcription Factor Dynamics [PDF]
To predict transcription, one needs a mechanistic understanding of how the numerous required transcription factors (TFs) explore the nuclear space to find their target genes, assemble, cooperate, and compete with one another. Advances in fluorescence microscopy have made it possible to visualize real-time TF dynamics in living cells, leading to two ...

The databases of transcription factors [PDF]
The control of gene transcription is a critical level of gene expression regulation. The interactions between transcription factors (TF) and their DNA binding sites (TFBS) play a key role at this level. In order to decipher the molecular mechanism of the interactions of TFs with TFBSs and construct transcription regulatory network, it is necessary to ...

Transcriptional regulation of haematopoietic transcription factors [PDF]
The control of differential gene expression is central to all metazoan biology. Haematopoiesis represents one of the best understood developmental systems where multipotent blood stem cells give rise to a range of phenotypically distinct mature cell types, all characterised by their own distinctive gene expression profiles.

Gene expression is a fundamental process that is highly conserved from humans to bacteria. The first step in gene expression, transcription, is performed by structurally conserved DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RNAPs), which results in the synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template.

Smad transcription factors [PDF]
Smad transcription factors lie at the core of one of the most versatile cytokine signaling pathways in metazoan biology—the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) pathway. Recent progress has shed light into the processes of Smad activation and deactivation, nucleocytoplasmic dynamics, and assembly of transcriptional complexes.
