The Human Transcription Factors.
Transcription factors (TFs) recognize specific DNA sequences to control chromatin and transcription, forming a complex system that guides expression of the genome. Despite keen interest in understanding how TFs control gene expression, it remains challenging to determine how the precise genomic binding sites of TFs are specified and how TF binding ultimately relates to regulation of transcripti...
متن کاملTranscription syndromes and the role of RNA polymerase II general transcription factors in human disease.
Messenger RNA synthesis is a major site for the regulation of gene expression. Eukaryotic messenger RNA synthesis is catalyzed by multisubunit RNA polymerase II (1–3) and proceeds via multiple stages, which are designated preinitiation, initiation, elongation, and termination and which have come to be referred to collectively as the transcription cycle (Fig. 1). The past decade was a watershed ...
متن کاملExpression of Th1 and Th2 Cytokine and Associated Transcription Factors in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Correlation with Disease Severity
Background: Psoriasis is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease with elevated level of pro-inflammatory cytokines belonging mainly to Th1 pathway. We investigated whether treatment with micronutrients along with methotrexate (MTX) is able to modulate mRNA expression of Th1 and Th2 patterns and its correlation with disease severity. Methods: Thirty plaque type psoriasis patients with Psoriasis ...
متن کاملFox transcription factors: from development to disease.
Forkhead box (Fox) transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. They regulate diverse biological processes both during development and throughout adult life. Mutations in many Fox genes are associated with human disease and, as such, various animal models have been generated to study the function of these transcription factors in mechanistic deta...
متن کاملDNA-Binding Specificities of Human Transcription Factors
Although the proteins that read the gene regulatory code, transcription factors (TFs), have been largely identified, it is not well known which sequences TFs can recognize. We have analyzed the sequence-specific binding of human TFs using high-throughput SELEX and ChIP sequencing. A total of 830 binding profiles were obtained, describing 239 distinctly different binding specificities. The model...
