Eukaryotic transcription factors [PDF]
AbstractMany nuclear proteins have been found recently to interact with short conserved sequences which are involved in regulating the transcription of various genes. Nuclear transcription factors may be arbitrarily subdivided into two groups, ubiquitous and tissue‐specific.

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.

Transcription Factor Dynamics [PDF]
To predict transcription, one needs a mechanistic understanding of how the numerous required transcription factors (TFs) explore the nuclear space to find their target genes, assemble, cooperate, and compete with one another. Advances in fluorescence microscopy have made it possible to visualize real-time TF dynamics in living cells, leading to two ...

Smad transcription factors [PDF]
Smad transcription factors lie at the core of one of the most versatile cytokine signaling pathways in metazoan biology—the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) pathway. Recent progress has shed light into the processes of Smad activation and deactivation, nucleocytoplasmic dynamics, and assembly of transcriptional complexes.

Transcription factors in microcephaly
Higher cognition in humans, compared to other primates, is often attributed to an increased brain size, especially forebrain cortical surface area. Brain size is determined through highly orchestrated developmental processes, including neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, lamination, arborization, and apoptosis.

The Human Transcription Factors [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) recognize specific DNA sequences to control chromatin and transcription, forming a complex system that guides expression of the genome. Despite keen interest in understanding how TFs control gene expression, it remains challenging to determine how the precise genomic binding sites of TFs are specified and how TF binding ...

Transcription factors in fungi [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrate gene expression control of a cell and, in many respects, their repertoire determines the life and functionality of the cell. For a better understanding of their regulatory mechanisms, it is essential to know the entire repertoire of TFs of a species.

Transcription factors and asthma [PDF]
Asthma is characterized by the expression of multiple genes for inflammatory proteins, such as cytokines, enzymes, receptors and adhesion molecules. This is orchestrated by transcription factors, which are proteins that bind to the promoter regions of these genes and may be activated by inflammatory stimuli, such as cytokines.

Deacetylation of Transcription Factors in Carcinogenesis [PDF]
Reversible Nε-lysine acetylation/deacetylation is one of the most common post-translational modifications (PTM) of histones and non-histone proteins that is regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). This epigenetic process is highly involved in carcinogenesis, affecting histone and non-histone proteins’ properties
