Targeting the transcriptional machinery with unique artificial transcriptional activators.
The link between a growing number of human diseases and misregulation of gene expression has spurred intense interest in artificial transcriptional activators that could be used to restore controlled expression of affected genes. To expand the repertoire of activation domains available for the construction of artificial transcriptional regulators, a selection strategy was used to identify two u...
متن کاملTranscriptional Activators of Human Genes with Programmable DNA-Specificity
TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors are translocated by Xanthomonas bacteria into plant cells where they activate transcription of target genes. DNA target sequence recognition occurs in a unique mode involving a central domain of tandem repeats. Each repeat recognizes a single base pair in a contiguous DNA sequence and a pair of adjacent hypervariable amino acid residues per repeat sp...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation: Kamikaze activators
Transcription factors are often targeted for rapid degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Recent evidence points to a correlation between the potency and instability of transcriptional activators, suggesting a possible direct role for ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in transcriptional activation.
متن کاملTranscriptional Activators in Hepatocytes1
A longstanding quest of developmental biology has been to understand the molecular switches that determine which sets of genes are expressed in selected differentiated cell types. Since regulation of gene expression is predominantly at the level of mRNA synthesis (reviewed in Ref. 1), the problem initially becomes one of defining the protein factors that establish and maintain a gene in a trans...
متن کاملTranscriptional activators in yeast
Eukaryotic transcription activation domains (ADs) are not well defined on the proteome scale. We systematicallly tested approximately 6000 yeast proteins for transcriptional activity using a yeast one-hybrid system and identified 451 transcriptional activators. We then determined their transcription activation strength using fusions to the Gal4 DNA-binding domain and a His3 reporter gene which ...
