Mapping of Transcription Factor Binding Region of Kappa Casein (CSN3) Gene in Iranian Bacterianus and Dromedaries Camels
κ-casein is a glycosilated protein in mammalian milk that plays an essential role in the milk micelles. Control of κ-casein expression reflects this essential role, although an understanding of the mechanisms involved lags behind that of the other milk protein genes. Transcriptional regulation, a first mechanism for controlling the development of organisms, is carried out by transcription facto...

متن کاملLarge-Scale Turnover of Functional Transcription Factor Binding Sites in Drosophila
The gain and loss of functional transcription factor binding sites has been proposed as a major source of evolutionary change in cis-regulatory DNA and gene expression. We have developed an evolutionary model to study binding-site turnover that uses multiple sequence alignments to assess the evolutionary constraint on individual binding sites, and to map gain and loss events along a phylogeneti...
متن کاملQuantitative models for accelerated protein dissociation from nucleosomal DNA
Binding of transcription factors to their binding sites in promoter regions is the fundamental event in transcriptional gene regulation. When a transcription factor binding site is located within a nucleosome, the DNA has to partially unwrap from the nucleosome to allow transcription factor binding. This reduces the rate of transcription factor binding and is a known mechanism for regulation of...
متن کاملDecoupling of evolutionary changes in transcription factor binding and gene expression in mammals.
To understand the evolutionary dynamics between transcription factor (TF) binding and gene expression in mammals, we compared transcriptional output and the binding intensities for three tissue-specific TFs in livers from four closely related mouse species. For each transcription factor, TF-dependent genes and the TF binding sites most likely to influence mRNA expression were identified by comp...
