Transcriptional downregulation of agr expression in Staphylococcus aureus during growth in human serum can be overcome by constitutively active mutant forms of the sensor kinase AgrC [PDF]
The temporal and cell density-dependent regulation of expression of virtually all the Staphylococcus aureus virulon is under the control of the agr (accessory gene regulatory) operon.

Circadian rhythms and post-transcriptional regulation in higher plants [PDF]
The circadian clock of plants allows them to cope with daily changes in their environment. This is accomplished by the rhythmic regulation of gene expression, in a process that involves many regulatory steps.

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are important mediators for allergy, but how ILC2 are regulated under chronic inflammation is still unclear. Here the authors show that Runx transcription factors, which normally suppresses ILC2 activation at steady ...

Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) : a novel target in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that reduced mitochondrial content and function in skeletal muscle are common features of type 2 diabetes. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of mitochondrial genes in skeletal muscle, focusing ...

ZEB1 protects skeletal muscle from damage and is required for its regeneration
Following muscle damage, an inflammatory response is associated to activation of satellite cells, which drive muscle repair. Here, the authors show that upregulation of Zeb1 in macrophages and muscle fibres regulates inflammation, and also show a role ...

Essential functions of Runx/Cbfβ in gut conventional dendritic cells for priming Rorγt + T cells
Loss of Runx/Cbfβ complexes during DC development leads to a loss of gut CD103 + CD11b + cDC2s, which was accompanied with impaired differentiation of both Rorγt + Th17 cells and type 3 Rorγt + Treg cells.

HTRIdb: an open-access database for experimentally verified human transcriptional regulation interactions [PDF]
Background: The modeling of interactions among transcription factors (TFs) and their respective target genes (TGs) into transcriptional regulatory networks is important for the complete understanding of regulation of biological processes.
