BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background The WOX (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX) gene family encodes a class of transcription factors that are unique to green plants, where they are involved in regulating the development of plant tissues and organs by determining cell fate.

The pleiotropic transcriptional regulator NlpR contributes to the modulation of nitrogen metabolism, lipogenesis and triacylglycerol accumulation in oleaginous rhodococci [PDF]
, 2017 The regulatory mechanisms involved in lipogenesis and triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation are largely unknown in oleaginous rhodococci. In this study a regulatory protein (here called NlpR: Nitrogen lipid Regulator), which contributes to the modulation of

Co-Regulated Genes and Gene Clusters [PDF]
Genes, 2021 There are many co-regulated genes in eukaryotic cells. The coordinated activation or repression of such genes occurs at specific stages of differentiation, or under the influence of external stimuli. As a rule, co-regulated genes are dispersed in the genome. However, there are also gene clusters, which contain paralogous genes that encode proteins with

Rrp6 Regulates Heterochromatic Gene Silencing via ncRNA RUF6 Decay in Malaria Parasites
mBio, 2020 The heterochromatin environment plays a central role in silencing genes associated with the malaria parasite’s development, survival in the host, and transmission to the mosquito vector.

YhjC is a novel transcriptional regulator required for Shigella flexneri virulence
Virulence, 2021 Shigella is an intracellular pathogen that primarily infects the human colon and causes shigellosis. Shigella virulence relies largely on the type III secretion system (T3SS) and secreted effectors.

FabR regulates Salmonella biofilm formation via its direct target FabB [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Biofilm formation is an important survival strategy of Salmonella in all environments. By mutant screening, we showed a knock-out mutant of fabR, encoding a repressor of unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis (UFA), to have impaired biofilm ...

Combinatorial Gene Regulation Using Auto-Regulation
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 As many as 59% of the transcription factors in Escherichia coli regulate the transcription rate of their own genes. This suggests that auto-regulation has one or more important functions. Here, one possible function is studied. Often the transcription rate of an auto-regulator is also controlled by additional transcription factors.

Causal inference of regulator-target pairs by gene mapping of expression phenotypes
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background Correlations between polymorphic markers and observed phenotypes provide the basis for mapping traits in quantitative genetics. When the phenotype is gene expression, then loci involved in regulatory control can theoretically be implicated ...

Inferred expression regulator activities suggest genes mediating cardiometabolic genetic signals.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 Expression QTL (eQTL) analyses have suggested many genes mediating genome-wide association study (GWAS) signals but most GWAS signals still lack compelling explanatory genes.
