Regulation of P2X7 gene transcription

Glucose regulation of gene transcription.

Nutrient gene regulation is an important adaptation allowing survival on intermittent food supplies. This adaptative process exists in all species from yeast to mammals. Glucose, the most abundant monosaccharide in nature, provides a very good example of how organisms have developed regulatory mechanisms to cope with a fluctuating level of nutrient supply. In yeast, glucose facilitates its own ...

Regulation of ribosomal gene transcription.

In eukaryotic cells, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is transcribed by RNA polymerase I (pol I) in the nucleolus as a large (40 S-47 S) precursor RNA (pre-rRNA) (for reviews, see refs. [1,2]). The mature rRNA species (28 S, 18 S and 5.8 S) are formed after a series of specific endonucleolytic cleavage reactions (for a review, see ref. [3]). The rRNA gene (rDNA) is highly reiterated and is arranged in...

Regulation of gene transcription by fatty acids.

Dietary fat is well recognised as an important macronutrient that has major effects on growth, development and health of all animals including humans. The amount and type of fat in the diet impacts on many aspects of metabolism including lipoprotein pathways, lipid synthesis and oxidation, adipocyte differentiation and cholesterol metabolism. It has become increasingly apparent that many of the...
