Mammalian SIRT1 Represses Forkhead Transcription Factors [PDF]
The NAD-dependent deacetylase SIR2 and the forkhead transcription factor DAF-16 regulate lifespan in model organisms, such as yeast and C. elegans. Here we show that the mammalian SIR2 ortholog SIRT1 deacetylates and represses the activity of the forkhead transcription factor Foxo3a and other mammalian forkhead factors. This regulation appears to be in

Forkhead transcription factors: new considerations for alzheimer's disease and dementia. [PDF]
Life expectancy of individuals in both developed and undeveloped nations continues to rise at an unprecedented rate. Coupled to this increase in longevity for individuals is the rise in the incidence of chronic neurodegenerative disorders that includes Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The forkhead transcription factor FoxY regulates Nanos [PDF]
AbstractFoxY is a member of the forkhead transcription factor family that appeared enriched in the presumptive germ line of sea urchins (Ransick et al. Dev Biol 2002;246:132). Here, we test the hypothesis that FoxY is involved in germ line determination in this animal.

The Forkhead Transcription Factor Foxo1 Regulates Adipocyte Differentiation [PDF]
An outstanding question in adipocyte biology is how hormonal cues are relayed to the nucleus to activate the transcriptional program that promotes adipogenesis. The forkhead transcription factor Foxo1 is regulated by insulin via Akt-dependent phosphorylation and nuclear exclusion.

Role of forkhead transcription factors in diabetes-induced oxidative stress. [PDF]
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder, characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from insulin deficiency and/or insulin resistance. Recent evidence suggests that high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent oxidative stress are key contributors in the development of diabetic complications.

DNA-binding specificity changes in the evolution of forkhead transcription factors. [PDF]
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 dozens of subfamilies in animals, fungi, and related protists.

Unveiling Forkhead-mediated regulation of yeast cell cycle and metabolic networks
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 mutations and potential targets of the forkhead transcription factor FOXL2 [PDF]
Mutations of FOXL2, a gene encoding a forkhead transcription factor, have been shown to cause the blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES). This genetic disorder is characterized by eyelid and mild craniofacial abnormalities that can appear associated with premature ovarian failure. FOXL2 is one of the earliest ovarian markers and it
