Post-Translational Control of Sp-Family Transcription Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sp-family transcription factors are widely expressed in human tissues and involved in the regulation of many cellular processes and response to cellular microenvironment. These responses appear to be mediated by alterations in transcription factor affinity for DNA rather than altered protein level. How might such changes be effected? This review will identify the range of known post-translational modifications (PTMs) of Sp-factors and the sometimes conflicting literature about the roles of PTMs in regulating activity. We will speculate on the interaction between cell environment, chromatin microenvironment and the role of PTM in governing functionality of the proteins and the complexes to which they belong.

Post-translational changes of histones, methylation level, and ERβ protein level in the cumulus cell genome of infertile women with endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis (which affects up to 50% of infertile women) is one of the major causes impacting female infertility. Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine tissue, causes a wide range of functional disorders in the process of follicular development and changes in the follicular milieu, resulting in the formation of an incompetent o...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications of proteins in gene regulation under hypoxic conditions
Hypoxia is a common feature of highly proliferating tissues and tissues with inflammation. The transcriptional response to hypoxia involves activation of signal transduction pathways, which is mainly mediated by post-translational modifications of signaling molecules, transcription factors and histones. Activation of hypoxia responsive transcription factors HIF and NF-κB is a subject of regulat...
متن کاملPost-translational regulation of FOXO.
The Forkhead box O (FOXO) family transcription factors play critical roles in a series of cellular processes, including the cell cycle, cell death, metabolism, and oxidative stress resistance. FOXO proteins are subject to several post-translational modifications, which are closely related to their activity. In this paper, we review the post-translational modifications of FOXOs and their biologi...

The Spalt-like family of zinc finger transcription factors is conserved throughout evolution and is involved in fundamental processes during development and during embryonic stem cell maintenance. Although human SALL1 is modified by SUMO-1 in vitro, it is not known whether this post-translational modification plays a role in regulating the activity of this family of transcription factors. Here,...
متن کاملPost-Translational Modifications of RelB NF-κB Subunit and Associated Functions
The family of NF-κB transcription factors plays a key role in diverse biological processes, such as inflammatory and immune responses, cell survival and tumor development. Beyond the classical NF-κB activation pathway, a second NF-κB pathway has more recently been uncovered, the so-called alternative NF-κB activation pathway. It has been shown that this pathway mainly controls the activity of R...
