Transcription factors and osteoblasts
Frontiers in Bioscience, 1998Transcription factors play a key role in determination of the fate of the cells in osteoblastic and chondrocytic lineage. A runt family member, Cbfa, is indispensable for osteoblastic differentiation. Sox 9 and scleraxis are involved in the phenotypic expression in chondrocytes and the cells of early stage connective tissues.

TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS | Overview
2006The term ‘transcription factor’ refers to a large family of proteins, which exert transcriptional control via specific interactions with regulatory gene sequences. Here, we provide a summary of the different classes of the transcription factor divided according to their DNA-binding motifs. The modular structure of transcription factors and the presence

Transcription factors in disease
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1996Mutations affecting several predominantly tissue-specific transcriptional regulators have recently been associated with disease phenotypes. Although the mutational spectrum is variable, many of the reported cases involve clear loss-of-function mutations-such as Waardenburg syndrome type 1, aniridia and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome-suggesting that the ...

Trends in Plant Science, 2010
WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants and form integral parts of signalling webs that modulate many plant processes. Here, we review recent significant progress in WRKY transcription factor research. New findings illustrate that WRKY proteins often act as repressors as well as activators, and

CREB: a stimulus-induced transcription factor activated by a diverse array of extracellular signals.
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1999Extracellular stimuli elicit changes in gene expression in target cells by activating intracellular protein kinase cascades that phosphorylate transcription factors within the nucleus. One of the best characterized stimulus-induced transcription factors,

Cytokines and transcription factors
Cytokine, 1990Transcriptional induction is mediated by transcription factors, which influence gene expression by interacting with specific elements in their regulatory regions. Here we discuss transcription factors involved in the regulation of cytokines and their receptors (interleukin-2, interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain, and interferon-beta), as well as ...

Eukaryotic transcription factors
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1998The structural characterization of eukaryotic transcription factors that interact with DNA has advanced on two fronts in the past two years. New complexes of transcription factors bound to TATA-box DNA include the TFIIA-TBP-DNA complex as well as human and archaeal TBP-DNA and TFIIB-TBP-DNA complexes, respectively.

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993
Studies of yeast transcription factors have contributed greatly to understanding basic molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic gene regulation, largely due to powerful genetic approaches that are unavailable in other organisms. The broad outlines of these mechanisms are fairly well understood, and there is an increasing number of examples where detailed ...

Plant and Cell Physiology, 1995
Transcriptional regulation of gene expression relies on the recognition of promoter elements by transcription factors. In the past several years, a considerable number of (putative) transcription factors have been identified in plants. Some genes coding for these factors were isolated by south-western screening with oligonucleotides as a probe or by ...

Transcription factors in hematopoiesis
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1999The advent of gene targeting in the mouse has led to rapid advances in the identification of factors controlling gene expression that are essential for normal hematopoietic development. Recent work has also uncovered roles for some of these factors in leukemogenesis and in the global regulation of chromatin structure.
