Extending the dynamic range of transcription factor action by translational regulation [PDF]
A crucial step in the regulation of gene expression is binding of transcription factor (TF) proteins to regulatory sites along the DNA. But transcription factors act at nanomolar concentrations, and noise due to random arrival of these molecules at their binding sites can severely limit the precision of regulation.

The Distinctive Regulation of Cyanobacterial Glutamine Synthetase [PDF]
Glutamine synthetase (GS) features prominently in bacterial nitrogen assimilation as it catalyzes the entry of bioavailable nitrogen in form of ammonium into cellular metabolism. The classic example, the comprehensively characterized GS of enterobacteria,

Transcriptional Regulation by Nrf2
Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that coordinates the basal and stress-inducible activation of a vast array of cytoprotective genes. Understanding the regulation of Nrf2 activity and downstream pathways has major implications for human health.

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 ...

R-loops in normal and malignant hematopoiesis
An R-loop is a nucleic acid structure consisting of a DNA : RNA hybrid and single-stranded DNA. It is formed physiologically in normal cells and is involved in transcription, replication, and gene rearrangement; in particular, it has multiple roles ...

3D polymer simulations of genome organization and transcription across different chromosomes and cell types [PDF]
We employ the diffusing transcription factors model for numerical simulation of chromatin topology conformations and transcriptional processes of human chromatin. Simulations of a short chromatin filament reveal different possible pathways to regulate transcription: it is shown that the transcriptional activity profile can be regulated and controlled ...

Regulation of Transcript Elongation [PDF]
Bacteria lack subcellular compartments and harbor a single RNA polymerase that synthesizes both structural and protein-coding RNAs, which are cotranscriptionally processed by distinct pathways. Nascent rRNAs fold into elaborate secondary structures and associate with ribosomal proteins, whereas nascent mRNAs are translated by ribosomes.

Background The gut microbiome, a key constituent of the colonic environment, has been implicated as an important modulator of human health. The eukaryotic epigenome is postulated to respond to environmental stimuli through alterations in chromatin ...

The cladoceran crustacean Daphnia produces only females by parthenogenesis in a healthy population. However, in response to environmental declines such as crowding and lack of foods, it produces eggs destined to become males that are genetically ...

Organellar carbon metabolism is co-ordinated with distinct developmental phases of secondary xylem [PDF]
Subcellular compartmentation of plant biosynthetic pathways in the mitochondria and plastids requires coordinated regulation of nuclear encoded genes, and the role of these genes has been largely ignored by wood researchers. In this study, we constructed
