Transcriptional regulation: Kamikaze activators
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Bipartite functions of the CREB co-activators selectively direct alternative splicing or transcriptional activation.
The CREB regulated transcription co-activators (CRTCs) regulate many biological processes by integrating and converting environmental inputs into transcriptional responses. Although the mechanisms by which CRTCs sense cellular signals are characterized, little is known regarding how CRTCs contribute to the regulation of cAMP inducible genes. Here we show that these dynamic regulators, unlike ot...
متن کاملRegulation of the initiation of eukaryotic transcription.
DNA sequences that determine transcriptional regulation of a typical eukaryotic gene consist of a core promoter, which serves as a binding site for the GTF TFIID, and regulatory promoter or enhancer sequences, which bind transcriptional activators. The RNA polymerase II transcription machinery consists of over 50 proteins which are thought to bind to the core promoter in as few as two steps: bi...
متن کاملA high-resolution interaction map of three transcriptional activation domains with a key coactivator from photo-cross-linking and multiplexed mass spectrometry.
Transcriptional activators play a central role in gene regulation by stimulating the assembly of the transcriptional machinery at a promoter in a signal-responsive manner. Because of the significant role that misregulated or malfunctioning transcriptional activators play in human disease, there has been a strong effort towards the identification of molecules that inhibit the ability of an activ...
متن کاملSerial Regulation of Transcriptional Regulators in the Yeast Cell Cycle
Genome-wide location analysis was used to determine how the yeast cell cycle gene expression program is regulated by each of the nine known cell cycle transcriptional activators. We found that cell cycle transcriptional activators that function during one stage of the cell cycle regulate transcriptional activators that function during the next stage. This serial regulation of transcriptional ac...
متن کاملTranscriptional activation: risky business.
Transcriptional regulation is all about getting RNA polymerase to the right place on the gene at the right time and making sure that it is competent to conduct transcription. Traditional views of this process place most of their emphasis on the events that precede initiation of transcription. We imagine a promoter-bound transcriptional activator (or collection of activators) recruiting componen...
