Homologous basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors induce distinct deformations of torsionally-stressed DNA: a potential transcription regulation mechanism [PDF]
QRB Discovery, 2022 Changing torsional restraints on DNA is essential for the regulation of transcription. Torsional stress, introduced by RNA polymerase, can propagate along chromatin facilitating topological transitions and modulating the specific binding of transcription
