Role of the Forkhead Transcription Factors Fd4 and Fd5 During Drosophila Leg Development [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Appendage development requires the coordinated function of signaling pathways and transcription factors to pattern the leg along the three main axes: the antero-posterior (AP), proximo-distal (PD), and dorso-ventral (DV).

DNA-binding specificity changes in the evolution of forkhead transcription factors. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 The evolution of transcriptional regulatory networks entails the expansion and diversification of transcription factor (TF) families. The forkhead family of TFs, defined by a highly conserved winged helix DNA-binding domain (DBD), has diverged into ...

Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) controls breast cancer cell proliferation by modulating Forkhead transcription factors [PDF]
Molecular Oncology, 2019 The multitasking promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein was originally recognized as a tumor‐suppressive factor, but more recent evidence has implicated PML in tumor cell prosurvival actions and poor patient prognosis in specific cancer settings.

Unveiling Forkhead-mediated regulation of yeast cell cycle and metabolic networks
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Transcription factors are regulators of the cell’s genomic landscape. By switching single genes or entire molecular pathways on or off, transcription factors modulate the precise timing of their activation.

The foxa2 gene controls the birth and spontaneous degeneration of dopamine neurons in old age. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2007 Parkinson disease affects more than 1% of the population over 60 y old. The dominant models for Parkinson disease are based on the use of chemical toxins to kill dopamine neurons, but do not address the risk factors that normally increase with age ...

Involvement of the JNK/FOXO3a/Bim Pathway in Neuronal Apoptosis after Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage in Neonatal Rats. [PDF]
, 2015 c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) plays a key role in the regulation of neuronal apoptosis. Previous studies have revealed that forkhead transcription factor (FOXO3a) is a critical effector of JNK-mediated tumor suppression.
