Putting a KAP on Transcription and Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chromatin regulation plays an important role in brain development and the generation of phenotypic diversity. In this issue of Neuron, Jakobsson et al. find that disruption in neurons of KAP1, a key component of transcriptional repressor complexes in the brain, results in increased anxiety-like behavior and sensitivity to stress.

Expression pattern analysis of transcription factors from Aeluropus littoralis in response to salt stress and recovery condition.
Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that decrease crop production. Transcription factors (TFs) are prominent regulators in plant responses to abiotic stress. In the present study, the expression pattern of four salt-induced genes encoding transcription factors, namely, MYB, RF2, GTF, and ARID was studied in response to salt stress (sodium chloride) and recovery conditions. Th...
متن کاملMonitoring Response of a Few bZip Transcription Factors in Response to Osmotic Stress in Sunflower
Background: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the important vegetable oil supplies in the world and in Iran, as well. It is classified as a drought semi-tolerant crop; however, its yield is adversely affected by drought stress. Understanding the initial events in sensing stress and the related physiologic and biochemical events thereafter, is crucial in designing droug...
متن کاملTargeting of Krüppel-associated box-containing zinc finger proteins to centromeric heterochromatin. Implication for the gene silencing mechanisms.
Krüppel-associated box-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) repress transcription via functional interaction with the corepressor KRAB-associated protein-1 (KAP-1). KAP-1 directly interacts with heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), a dose-dependent regulator of heterochromatin-mediated silencing. Here we show that two KRAB-ZFPs that we previously identified, KRAZ1 and KRAZ2, are targeted to ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Drought Stresses, Fusarium Culmorum and Heterodera Filipjevi and their Interactions on the Expression Pattern of Transcription Factor Gene NAC69-3 in Bread Wheat
SExtended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Small grain cereals such as wheat, are affected by types of destructive environmental factors such as abiotic and biotic stresses that severely reduce crop yields. To cope with these conditions, transcription factors cause plant resistance to these stresses by activating or suppressing the expression of genes involved in the resistance responses....
متن کاملCloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of the Gene Encoding Transcription Factor MYB44 of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under Salt Stress Conditions
Sunflower oilseeds (Helianthus annuus L.) are widely used around the world. Soil salinity negatively affects many morphological and physiological traits of sunflowers. Oil seed sunflower line tolerant to salinity stress (AS5305) was planted in normal and salinity stress conditions in a completely randomized design with two biological replications in a controlled environment. Salinity was applie...
