TFE and Spt4/5 open and close the RNA polymerase clamp during the transcription cycle [PDF]
Transcription is an intrinsically dynamic process and requires the coordinated interplay of RNA polymerases (RNAPs) with nucleic acids and transcription factors.

Transcription and cancer [PDF]
The normal growth, development and function of an organism requires precise and co-ordinated control of gene expression. A major part of this control is exerted by regulating messenger RNA (mRNA) production and involves complex interactions between an array of transcriptionally active proteins and specific regulatory DNA sequences.

Protocol for analysis of G2/M DNA synthesis in human cells
Summary: G2/M DNA synthesis (G-MiDS) can be observed in one in five G2/M cells in unperturbed conditions by immunofluorescence microscopy. However, little is known of the genomic sites undergoing G-MiDS.

Molecular basis for substrate specificity of the Phactr1/PP1 phosphatase holoenzyme
PPP-family phosphatases such as PP1 have little intrinsic specificity. Cofactors can target PP1 to substrates or subcellular locations, but it remains unclear how they might confer sequence-specificity on PP1.

Transcription of toll-like receptors 2, 3, 4 and 9, FoxP3 and Th17 cytokines in a susceptible experimental model of canine Leishmania infantum infection [PDF]
Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum is a chronic zoonotic systemic disease resulting from complex interactions between protozoa and the canine immune system.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Structural basis of eukaryotic transcription termination by the Rat1 exonuclease complex
The 5´–3´ exoribonuclease Rat1/Xrn2 is responsible for the termination of eukaryotic mRNA transcription by RNAPII. Rat1 forms a complex with its partner proteins, Rai1 and Rtt103, and acts as a “torpedo” to bind transcribing RNAPII and dissociate DNA/RNA

Functional Characteristics of Gene Expression Motifs with Single and Dual Strategies of Regulation [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs constitute two major modes of regulation of gene expression. While gene expression motifs incorporating solely transcriptional regulation are well investigated, the dynamics of motifs with dual strategies of regulation, i.e., both transcriptional and ...
