Coding limits on the number of transcription factors [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics 2006, 7:239, 2010
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. The total number of transcription factors encoded in a genome increases with the number of genes in the genome. Here, we examined the number

Transcription factors in microcephaly

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
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 ...

Extending the dynamic range of transcription factor action by translational regulation [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 93, 022404 (2016), 2015
A crucial step in the regulation of gene expression is binding of transcription factor (TF) proteins to regulatory sites along the DNA. But transcription factors act at nanomolar concentrations, and noise due to random arrival of these molecules at their binding sites can severely limit the precision of regulation.

Triple-negative and triple-positive breast cancer cells reciprocally control their growth and migration via the S100A4 pathway

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2022
The study’s aim was to investigate the S100A4-mediated mechanisms of the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and migration in the human triple-positive breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 (TPBC) and triple-negative breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231 ...

A novel chromatin-remodeling complex variant, dcPBAF, is involved in maintaining transcription in differentiated neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The Polybromo-associated BAF (BRG1- or BRM-associated factors) (PBAF) chromatin-remodeling complex is essential for transcription in mammalian cells.

The Transcription Factor Encyclopedia [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2012
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.

Primate-specific stress-induced transcription factor POU2F1Z protects human neuronal cells from stress

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The emergence of new primate-specific genes is an essential factor in human and primate brain development and functioning. POU2F1/Oct-1 is a transcription regulator in higher eukaryotes which is involved in the regulation of development, differentiation,

Eukaryotic transcription factors [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1990
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.

Insulin-Responsive Transcription Factors

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
The hormone insulin executes its function via binding and activating of the insulin receptor, a receptor tyrosine kinase that is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle, adipocytes, liver, pancreatic β-cells, and in some areas of the central nervous system ...
