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.

A local regulatory network around three NAC transcription factors in stress responses and senescence in Arabidopsis leaves [PDF]
A model is presented describing the gene regulatory network surrounding three similar NAC transcription factors that have roles in Arabidopsis leaf senescence and stress responses. ANAC019, ANAC055 and ANAC072 belong to the same clade of NAC domain genes

Transcription factors underlying photoreceptor diversity
During development, retinal progenitors navigate a complex landscape of fate decisions to generate the major cell classes necessary for proper vision. Transcriptional regulation is critical to generate diversity within these major cell classes.

A high proportion of β-cells die within days of islet transplantation. Reports suggest that induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) predicts adverse transplant outcomes.

Falling for the dark side of transcription: Nab2 fosters RNA polymerase III transcription. [PDF]
RNA polymerase III (RNAPIII) synthesizes diverse, small, non-coding RNAs with many important roles in the cellular metabolism. One of the open questions of RNAPIII transcription is whether and how additional factors are involved.

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.

Transposon-derived transcription factors across metazoans
Transposable elements (TE) could serve as sources of new transcription factors (TFs) in plants and some other model species, but such evidence is lacking for most animal lineages. Here, we discovered multiple independent co-options of TEs to generate 788

Turnover and function of DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites [PDF]
Cell type identity is largely determined by regulatory networks consistent of various transcription factors. Transcription factor activity requires interaction with DNA and thus critically depends on the accessibility of binding motifs.

Fungal CSL transcription factors
Background The CSL (CBF1/RBP-Jκ/Suppressor of Hairless/LAG-1) transcription factor family members are well-known components of the transmembrane receptor Notch signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in metazoan development.

Human naive CD8 T cells down-regulate expression of the WNT pathway transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 and transcription factor 7 (T cell factor-1) following antigen encounter in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
The transcription factors lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1) and transcription factor 7 (TCF7) (T cell factor-1 (TCF-1)) are downstream effectors of the WNT signaling pathway, which is a critical regulator of T cell development in the thymus.
