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.

A Role of Myocardin Related Transcription Factor-A (MRTF-A) in Scleroderma Related Fibrosis. [PDF]
In scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc), persistent activation of myofibroblast leads to severe skin and organ fibrosis resistant to therapy. Increased mechanical stiffness in the involved fibrotic tissues is a hallmark clinical feature and a cause of ...

Transcription Factor Binding to Replicated DNA
Summary: Genome replication perturbs the DNA regulatory environment by displacing DNA-bound proteins, replacing nucleosomes, and introducing dosage imbalance between regions replicating at different S-phase stages.

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.

An intuitionistic approach to scoring DNA sequences against transcription factor binding site motifs [PDF]
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) control transcription by binding to specific regions of DNA called transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). The identification of TFBSs is a crucial problem in computational biology and includes the subtask of ...

NTH201, a novel class II KNOTTED1-like protein gene, was cloned from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) and its role in Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection was analyzed. Virus-induced gene silencing of NTH201 caused a delay in viral RNA accumulation

FOXO transcription factors [PDF]
What are they? FOXO proteins are a subgroup of the Forkhead family of transcription factors. This family is characterized by a conserved DNA-binding domain (the ‘Forkhead box’, or FOX) and comprises more than 100 members in humans, classified from FOXA to FOXR on the basis of sequence similarity.

Determinants of transcription factor regulatory range
Characterization of the distance over which TF binding influences gene expression is important for inferring target genes. Here the authors study this relationship using thousands of genomic data sets, finding two classes of TFs with distinct ranges of ...

Statistical reconstruction of transcription factor activity using Michaelis-Menten kinetics [PDF]
Summary. The basic building block of a gene regulatory network consists of a gene encoding a transcription factor (TF) and the gene(s) it regulates. Considerable efforts have been directed recently at devising experiments and algorithms to determine TFs
