Peer pressure often evokes unexpected behavior, and protein partners might do the same. The Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) has long been considered a transcriptional repressor, given its ...

Leukemic disease can be linked to aberrant gene expression. This often is the result of molecular alterations in transcription factors that lead to their misrouting within the nucleus. The acute ...

“In this case, the function of the ACBP protein as a repressor factor could become a therapeutic tool of interest in cancer patients.” Additionally, studies have shown that warmer ambient temperatures ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Understanding how metal binding regulates the activity of the diphtheria toxin repressor protein (DtxR) requires information about the ...

A protein known to repress gene transcription at the molecular level in a variety of processes also blocks embryonic neural stem cells from differentiating into neurons, according to a study by ...

An evolutionary arms race between rival elements within the genomes of primates drove the evolution of complex regulatory networks that orchestrate the activity of genes in every cell of our bodies, ...

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of homeotic gene expression during Drosophila development. The homeotic genes encode a family of transcription factors that act as ...
