Towards molecular systems biology of gene transcription and regulation [PDF]
Ten years after the determination of the RNA polymerase 11 structure, the basic mechanism of mRNA synthesis during gene transcription is known. In the future, the initiation and regulation of transcription must be studied with a combination of structural

An R2R3 MYB transcription factor associated with regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Rosaceae [PDF]
Background The control of plant anthocyanin accumulation is via transcriptional regulation of the genes encoding the biosynthetic enzymes. A key activator appears to be an R2R3 MYB transcription factor.

Structural visualization of transcription activated by a multidrug-sensing MerR family regulator
The MerR family of transcriptional regulators, such as EcmrR, activate promoters with a structure that is suboptimal for recognition by RNA polymerase holoenzyme. Structural insights into the EcmrR-dependent transcription process elucidate the mechanisms

Dia2 controls transcription by mediating assembly of the RSC complex. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Dia2 is an F-box protein found in the budding yeast, S. cerevisiae. Together with Skp1 and Cul1, Dia2 forms the substrate-determining part of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, otherwise known as the SCF.
