Transcription: Why are TAFs essential?
The TAFs are transcription factors associated with the TATA-binding protein, and until recently they were assumed to link specific activators to the general transcription machinery. Recent results suggest that the essential functions of TAFs are not as coactivators of transcription but as determinants of promoter selectivity.
متن کاملWhy Nutrients?
The field of nutrition continues to attract increasing interest from health professionals, including dietitians, sports nutritionists and medical practitioners, from biomedical, agricultural, nutritional and food scientists and from health conscious consumers alike. A major driver of this increased interest is the growing global concern about health sustainability and recognition of the economi...
متن کاملWhy transcription factor binding sites are ten nucleotides long.
Gene expression is controlled primarily by transcription factors, whose DNA binding sites are typically 10 nt long. We develop a population-genetic model to understand how the length and information content of such binding sites evolve. Our analysis is based on an inherent trade-off between specificity, which is greater in long binding sites, and robustness to mutation, which is greater in shor...
متن کاملWhy are essential genes essential? - The essentiality of Saccharomyces genes
Essential genes are defined as required for the survival of an organism or a cell. They are of particular interests, not only for their essential biological functions, but also in practical applications, such as identifying effective drug targets to pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has approximately 6,000 open reading frames, 15 to 20% of which are deeme...
متن کاملDietary Nucleotides in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Citation: Pozo AS. Dietary Nucleotides in Neurodegenerative Diseases. Biochem Mol Biol J. 2016, 1:1. There has been an explosion of scientific interest in the health enhancing role of specific foods or physiologically-active food components, the so-called functional foods [1]. It is believed that diet play an important role against neurodegenerative diseases and some functional foods can help t...
