This is the first of two volumes which aim to cover all established eukaryotic transcription factor systems that are direct targets for the signal transduction pathways. Leading molecular biologists contribute reviews on topics which take a broad view, and which should be of interest to students and advanced researchers in biology and medicine. Chapters attempt to answer such fundamental questions as: what is the signal and how and when is it produced? What is the receptor, and what further signalling molecules are involved? What is the biochemistry and molecular biology of the transcription factor that is the ultimate target of the signalling pathway? What is the physiological role of factor?
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Focuses on research and development centers in the areas of medical and biomedical sciences including those in anatomy, biochemistry, clinical medicine, dentistry, drugs, genetics, immunology, neoplasms, pharmaceutical technology, and surgery.
Cells have evolved multiple strategies to adapt the composition and quality of their protein equipment to needs imposed by changes in intra- and extracellular conditions. The appearance of pro teins transmit ting novel functional properties to cells can be controlled at a transcrip tional, posttranscriptional, translational or posttranslational level. Extensive research over the past 15 years has shown that transcriptional regulation is used as the predominant strategy to control the production of new proteins in response to extracellular stimuli. At the level of gene transcription, the initiation ofmRNA synthesis is used most frequently to govern gene expression. The key elements controllin...
Devoted to the role zinc-finger proteins play in the regulation of transcription and oncogenesis, this book includes material on functional domains of DNA-binding zinc-finger proteins, structure and function of zinc fingers, zinc-finger protein mutants, transcription activation mechanisms, and control and loss of gene transcription.
