One of the major ways of acquiring multidrug resistance in bacteria is via drug influx and efflux pathways. Here, we show that E. coli with compromised Rho-dependent transcription termination function has enhanced broad-spectrum antibiotic susceptibility,

Quantifying mRNA synthesis and decay rates using small RNAs [PDF]
Regulation of mRNA decay is a critical component of global cellular adaptation to changing environments. The corresponding changes in mRNA lifetimes can be coordinated with changes in mRNA transcription rates to fine-tune gene expression.

Transcriptional enhancers: Transcription, function and flexibility [PDF]
Active transcriptional enhancers are often transcribed to eRNAs, whose changing levels mirror those of the target gene mRNA. We discuss some of the reported functions of these eRNAs and their likely diversity to allow utilization of distinct cis regulatory regions to enhance transcription in diverse developmental and cellular contexts.

The Transcription Factor Encyclopedia [PDF]
AbstractHere we present the Transcription Factor Encyclopedia (TFe), a new web-based compendium of mini review articles on transcription factors (TFs) that is founded on the principles of open access and collaboration. Our consortium of over 100 researchers has collectively contributed over 130 mini review articles on pertinent human, mouse and rat TFs.

Predicting Combinatorial Binding of Transcription Factors to Regulatory Elements in the Human Genome by Association Rule Mining [PDF]
Cis-acting transcriptional regulatory elements in mammalian genomes typically contain specific combinations of binding sites for various transcription factors. Although some cisregulatory elements have been well studied, the combinations of transcription

Transcription Activation via Transcriptional Bursting [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) often regulate their own expression; monitoring TF production in real time will help elucidate autoregulatory mechanisms. However, many TFs are expressed at low levels and are difficult to detect. Further, labeling TFs with fluorescent proteins risks disrupting their regulatory functions. Here, we report a novel strategy, Co-

Coding limits on the number of transcription factors [PDF]
Transcription factor proteins bind specific DNA sequences to control the expression of genes. They contain DNA binding domains which belong to several super-families, each with a specific mechanism of DNA binding.

Transcription Factors Modulate c-Fos Transcriptional Bursts
Transcription is a stochastic process occurring mostly in episodic bursts. Although the local chromatin environment is known to influence the bursting behavior on long timescales, the impact of transcription factors (TFs)—especially in rapidly inducible ...

ERK2-topoisomerase II regulatory axis is important for gene activation in immediate early genes
The function of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway is required for the activation of immediate early genes (IEGs), including EGR1 and FOS, for cell growth and proliferation.
