Functional Characteristics of Gene Expression Motifs with Single and Dual Strategies of Regulation [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation by transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs constitute two major modes of regulation of gene expression. While gene expression motifs incorporating solely transcriptional regulation are well investigated, the dynamics of motifs with dual strategies of regulation, i.e., both transcriptional and ...

Transcriptional regulation of the urokinase receptor (u-PAR) - A central molecule of invasion and metastasis [PDF]
The phenomenon of tumor-associated proteolysis has been acknowledged as a decisive step in the progression of cancer. This short review focuses on the urokinase receptor (u-PAR), a central molecule involved in tumor-associated invasion and metastasis ...

Runx-dependent and silencer-independent repression of a maturation enhancer in the Cd4 gene
The commitment of helper and cytotoxic lineages for CD4 and CD8 T cells, respectively, is associated with the regulation of Cd4 gene expression. Here the authors show that an intronic silencer, S4, has differential effects and synergy with the RUNX ...

Novel Insights into the Molecular Mechanisms Governing Embryonic Epicardium Formation
The embryonic epicardium originates from the proepicardium, an extracardiac primordium constituted by a cluster of mesothelial cells. In early embryos, the embryonic epicardium is characterized by a squamous cell epithelium resting on the myocardium ...

MicroRNAs preferentially target the genes with high transcriptional regulation complexity [PDF]
Over the past few years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new prominent class of gene regulatory factors that negatively regulate expression of approximately one-third of the genes in animal genomes at post-transcriptional level. However, it is still unclear why some genes are regulated by miRNAs but others are not, i.e.

Transcriptional Regulation by P53 [PDF]
Inactivation of p53 is critical for the formation of most tumors. Illumination of the key function(s) of p53 protein in protecting cells from becoming cancerous is therefore a worthy goal. Arguably p53's most important function is to act as a transcription factor that directly regulates perhaps several hundred of the cell's RNA polymerase II (RNAP II ...

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 ...

Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Autophagy
Autophagy is a widely conserved process in eukaryotes that is involved in a series of physiological and pathological events, including development, immunity, neurodegenerative disease, and tumorigenesis.
