Molecular and cellular mechanisms of adipogenesis
The main components of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and arterial hypertension. Obesity is the cause of metabolic syndrome, mainly as a consequence of the endocrine function of adipose tissue.

A mutant cell line partially responsive to both IFN-a and IFN-g [PDF]
A recessive mutant cell line, B7, which is partially responsive to both interferon (IFN)- a and IFN-g is described. B7 was FACS sorted from a cellular pool, which was obtained from the parental cell line 2C4, after several rounds of mutagenesis.

Structural analysis of MDM2 RING separates degradation from regulation of p53 transcription activity [PDF]
MDM2–MDMX complexes bind the p53 tumor-suppressor protein, inhibiting p53's transcriptional activity and targeting p53 for proteasomal degradation. Inhibitors that disrupt binding between p53 and MDM2 efficiently activate a p53 response, but their use in

Transcription Activation via Transcriptional Bursting [PDF]
Transcription factors (TFs) often regulate their own expression; monitoring TF production in real time will help elucidate autoregulatory mechanisms. However, many TFs are expressed at low levels and are difficult to detect. Further, labeling TFs with fluorescent proteins risks disrupting their regulatory functions. Here, we report a novel strategy, Co-

Divergent roles of CprK paralogues from Desulfitobacterium hafniense in activating gene expression [PDF]
Gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer play an important role in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. We have investigated the role of three CprK paralogues from the cAMP receptor protein-fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (CRP-FNR) family ...

Transcriptional activity by cocaine–amphetamine-regulated transcript [PDF]
Cocaine–amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) gene was identified in 1995 in a search for mRNAs in the striatum acutely upregulated by psychostimulants.1 CART is highest expressed in the hypothalamus and widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in endocrine cells.1, 2 CART peptides have received much attention as ...

Cathepsins as Transcriptional Activators? [PDF]
One action of proteases is limited cleavage of latent transcription factors, releasing active factors to initiate nuclear signaling. Goulet et al., in a recent Molecular Cell paper, provide evidence that a lysosomal protease, cathepsin L, exists in a previously unsuspected isoform capable of trafficking to the nucleus and activating the CDP/Cux ...

Co‐activator activator (CoAA) prevents the transcriptional activity of Runt domain transcription factors [PDF]
AbstractRunx proteins are essential for a number of developmental processes and are aberrantly expressed in many human cancers. Runx factors bind DNA and co‐factors to activate or repress genes crucial for bone formation, hematopoiesis, and neuronal development.

Complex coordination of cell plasticity by a PGC-1α-controlled transcriptional network in skeletal muscle [PDF]
Skeletal muscle cells exhibit an enormous plastic capacity in order to adapt to external stimuli. Even though our overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie phenotypic changes in skeletal muscle cells remains poor, several factors ...
