Keeping Transcriptional Activators under Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcriptional activators need to be modulated and eventually switched off after the initial event that triggers their activation. Here, we discuss how ubiquitination of activators and their proteasome-mediated turnover are crucial steps in this process.

A complex control system for transcriptional activation from the sid promoter of bacteriophage P4.
The sid gene promoter (Psid), which controls expression of the late genes from satellite phage P4, is activated by a unique class of small DNA-binding proteins. The activators from both satellite and helper phages stimulate transcription from Psid. These activators bind to sites centered at position -55 in all the helper and satellite phage late promoters. P4 Psid is unique in that it has an ad...
متن کاملRole of nucleoid-associated proteins Hha and H-NS in expression of Salmonella enterica activators HilD, HilC, and RtsA required for cell invasion.
The coordinate expression of Salmonella enterica invasion genes on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 is under the control of the complex circuits of regulation that involve the AraC/XylS family transcriptional activators HilD, HilC, and RtsA and nucleoid-associated proteins. Single-copy transcription fusions were used to assess the effects of nucleoid-associated proteins Hha and H-NS on hilD, h...
متن کاملThe p130 pocket protein: keeping order at cell cycle exit/re-entrance transitions.
Pocket proteins, including the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene product (pRB) and the related proteins p107 and p130, function at cell cycle regulatory steps that link cyclin/CDK-integrated positive and negative growth signals with E2F transcription factor activity on genes required for cell cycle progression. Protein complex formation between pocket proteins and members of the E2F family of ...
متن کاملTranscriptional control: Repression by local chromatin modification
It is becoming increasingly clear that chromatin modification plays a fundamental part in transcriptional control. Recent studies provide new insights into how transcriptional repressors, in addition to blocking activators, may recruit repression complexes that include chromatin modification factors.
متن کاملProteasome-mediated degradation of transcriptional activators correlates with activation domain potency in vivo.
We show that the intracellular concentration of transcriptional activator proteins is regulated by the proteasome-mediated protein degradation pathway. The rate of degradation of activators by proteasomes correlates with activation domain potency in vivo. Mutations either in the activation domain residues involved in target protein interaction or in the DNA-binding domain residues essential for...
