CopY-like Copper Inducible Repressors are Putative ‘Winged Helix’ Proteins [PDF]
Biometals, 2006 CopY of Enterococcus hirae is a well characterized copper-responsive repressor involved in copper homeostasis. In the absence of copper, it binds to the promoter. In high copper, the CopZ copper chaperone donates copper to CopY, thereby releasing it from the promoter and allowing transcription of the downstream copper homeostatic genes of the cop ...

Cholesterol, a repressor of natriuretic proteins
The FASEB Journal, 2019 Salt‐sensitivity in Dahl rats is due, in part, to the reduction of hemoxygenase‐1 (HO1), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), and nitric oxide synthase‐2 (NOS2) in the renal medulla. Renal overexpression of HIF1‐α, a regulator of HO1, COX2, and NOS2, enhances salt and water excretion and reduces blood pressure. Cholesterol (chol) incorporation into collecting duct

Revisiting Allostery in the Lac Repressor Protein [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 The lac repressor protein (lac) is an allosterically regulated transcription factor which controls expression of the lac operon in bacteria. Binding of a small molecule inducer to a site 40A away from the DNA-binding domain relieves repression through what is thought to be local unfolding of the hinge helix.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Viruses, 2018 Pathogenicity islands of Staphylococcus aureus are under the strong control of helper phages, where regulation is communicated at the gene expression level via a family of specific repressor proteins.

Integration of circadian and hypoxia signaling via non‐canonical heterodimerization
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.CLOCK, BMAL1, and HIFs are basic helix‐loop‐helix and Per‐Arnt‐Sim domain (bHLH‐PAS) proteins, which function as transcription factors. bHLH‐PAS proteins are designated in two classes. Many class I proteins are regulated by environmental signals via their PAS domains, but such signals have not been identified for all.

YgaE Regulates Out Membrane Proteins in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi under Hyperosmotic Stress
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) is a human-specific pathogen that causes typhoid fever. In this study, we constructed ΔygaE mutant and a microarray was performed to investigate the role of ygaE in regulation of gene expression changes in ...
