Issues and Opinions in Nutrition Eukaryotic Transcription Factors: Identification, Characterization and Functions
The regulation of tissueand temporal-specific eukaryotic gene expression and the activation of genes in response to extracellular inducers are two fundamental processes that attract many a molecular biologist. The development of methods for cloning individual genes has provided the opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying these processes at a molecular level. What has been learned is that...
متن کاملCombinatorial gene regulation by eukaryotic transcription factors.
Recent structure determinations of high order complexes of eukaryotic transcription factors bound to DNA have revealed that residues from their DNA-binding domains are involved in protein-protein interactions between distinct factors. Protein-protein interactions between transactivation domains and coactivators have also been characterized in a number of recently determined structures. These st...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...
متن کاملGene activation and gene silencing.
Twenty-five years ago the field of eukaryotic gene regulation was in its infancy. Paradigms driving experiments came primarily from work with prokaryotes and the phage that infected them (12). These paradigms, pioneered by Jacob and Monod, were that genes contained promoter sequences to which RNA polymerase bound and cis-acting sequences to which geneor pathway-specific trans-acting factors bou...
متن کاملDissecting cis and trans Determinants of Nucleosome Positioning: A Dissertation
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged in chromatin, whose repeating subunit, the nucleosome, consists of an octamer of histone proteins wrapped by about 147bp of DNA. This packaging affects the accessibility of DNA and hence any process that occurs on DNA, such as replication, repair, and transcription. An early observation from genome-wide nucleosome mapping in yeast was that genes had a surprisingly cha...
