Transcription: Activation by cooperating conformations
نویسنده
چکیده
The cooperative formation of a higher-order complex between transcription factors NFAT and Fos-Jun is accompanied by conformational changes in both DNA and protein. This allows formation of an extended interface between the proteins, while conserving recognition of the core DNA binding sequences.

Activation of SRF-Regulated Chromosomal Templates by Rho-Family GTPases Requires a Signal that Also Induces H4 Hyperacetylation
Constitutively active forms of the small GTPases RhoA (RhoA.V14) and Cdc42 (Cdc42.V12) induce expression of extrachromosomal SRF reporter genes in microinjection experiments, but only Cdc42.V12 can efficiently activate a chromosomal template. Both SAPK/JNK-dependent or -independent signals can cooperate with RhoA.V14 to activate chromosomal SRF reporters, and it is SAPK/JNK activation by Cdc42....
متن کاملThe Conformations of 1-Thiacyclooctan-3-One Dynamic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Force-Field Calculation
The 1H and natural-abundance 13C-NMR spectra of 1-thiacyclooctan-3-one (1) have been measured from 25 to -100°C. Coalescence is observed in the 1H-NMR spectra of (1) at about -80°C, and attributed to ring inversion in a boat-chair conformation, which is the predominant conformation of (1). The free energy of activation (DG¹</s...
متن کاملFunctional investigation of the BRCA1 Val1714Gly and Asp1733Gly variants by computational tools and yeast transcription activation assay
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are known to be a major cause of hereditary breast cancer. However, characterizing the point mutationsassociated with cancer in BRCA1 is challenging because the functional impact of most of them is still unknown. Nowadays, a variety of methods are employed to identify cancer-associated mutations in BRCA1. This study is aimed to ass...
متن کاملAn Oct-1 binding site mediates activation of the gata2 promoter by BMP signaling
The gata2 gene encodes a transcription factor implicated in regulating early patterning of ectoderm and mesoderm, and later in numerous cell-specific gene expression programs. Activation of the gata2 gene during embryogenesis is dependent on the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, but the mechanism for how signaling controls gene activity has not been defined. We developed an as...
متن کاملSox4 cooperates with Evi1 in AKXD-23 myeloid tumors via transactivation of proviral LTR.
Myeloid leukemias in AKXD23 mice contain proviral insertions at Evi1, resulting in transcriptional activation. Although Evi1 is clearly involved in leukemia, gene transfer studies in mice with Evi1 fail to cause leukemia, arguing that cooperating events are necessary. We reanalyzed AKXD-23 tumors for cooperating proviral insertion and found that each tumor had a proviral insertion in Sox4, whic...
