The SOX11 transcription factor is a critical regulator of basal-like breast cancer growth, invasion, and basal-like gene expression. [PDF]
, 2016 Basal-like breast cancers (BLBCs) are aggressive breast cancers associated with poor survival. Defining the key drivers of BLBC growth will allow identification of molecules for targeted therapy.

Engineering orthogonal dual transcription factors for multi-input synthetic promoters [PDF]
, 2016 Synthetic biology has seen an explosive growth in the capability of engineering artificial gene circuits from transcription factors (TFs), particularly in bacteria. However, most artificial networks still employ the same core set of TFs (for example LacI,

Spatial clustering and common regulatory elements correlate with coordinated gene expression [PDF]
, 2019 Many cellular responses to surrounding cues require temporally concerted transcriptional regulation of multiple genes. In prokaryotic cells, a single-input-module motif with one transcription factor regulating multiple target genes can generate ...

The anabolic steroid stanozolol is a potent inhibitor of human MutT homolog 1
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) is a member of the NUDIX superfamily of enzymes and is an anticancer drug target. We show that stanozolol (Stz), an anabolic steroid, is an unexpected nanomolar inhibitor of MTH1. The X‐ray crystal structure of the human MTH1–Stz complex reveals a unique binding scaffold that could be utilized for future inhibitor development ...

Sensitivity of transcription factors to DNA methylation
Essays in Biochemistry, 2019 Dynamic binding of transcription factors (TFs) to regulatory elements controls transcriptional states throughout organism development. Epigenetics modifications, such as DNA methylation mostly within cytosine-guanine dinucleotides (CpGs), have the ...

Metabolic gatekeeper function of B-lymphoid transcription factors. [PDF]
, 2017 B-lymphoid transcription factors, such as PAX5 and IKZF1, are critical for early B-cell development, yet lesions of the genes encoding these transcription factors occur in over 80% of cases of pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

High intrinsic hydrolytic activity of cyanobacterial RNA polymerase compensates for the absence of transcription proofreading factors [PDF]
, 2020 The vast majority of organisms possess transcription elongation factors, the functionally similar bacterial Gre and eukaryotic/archaeal TFIIS/TFS. Their main cellular functions are to proofread errors of transcription and to restart elongation via ...

ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF‐β signaling
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In breast and lung cancer patients, low ERBIN expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we show that ERBIN inhibits TGF‐β‐induced epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in NMuMG breast and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN suppresses TGF‐β/SMAD signaling and reduces TGF‐β‐induced ERK phosphorylation.
