Eukaryotic gene transcription is regulated by sequence-specific transcription factors, which bind modular cis acting promoter and enhancer elements. The cAMP...
The Hox proteins play a role in development and cellular differentiation by regulating downstream target genes. Specifically, the Hox proteins direct...
The transcription of ribosomal RNA genes by RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is tightly coordinated with the growth state of the cell. In addition to Pol I,...
Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or...
Fer is a non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (nRTK) of the Fes/Fps family, which shares a functional (SH2) domain and is involved in signaling pathways...
The epithelial cell adhesion molecule Ep-CAM, which is also design atedtumor-associated calcium signal transducer 1 and MK-1, is a monomeric membrane...
T cell factors (TCFs) comprise a family of DNA-binding transcriptional activators that are essential for lymphoid cell development. These transcription...
The v-Fos oncogene was initially detected in two independent murine osteosarcoma virus isolates and an avian nephroblastoma virus. Members of the c-Fos gene...
Raf-1 is a cytoplasmic protein with intrinsic serine/threonine activity. It is broadly expressed in nearly all cell lines tested to date and is the cellular...
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) constitute a set of polypeptides that contribute to mRNA transcription, pre-mRNA processing and mature mRNA...
Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) and IRF-2 have been identified as novel DNA-binding factors that function as regulators of both type I interferon...
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates diverse cellular responses to external signals such as proliferation, ion transport, regulation of metabolism...
Histamine is an inflammatory mediator that is ubiquitously expressed and has a broad range of pharmacologic effects. Specifically, it plays a role in the...
Histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS, Jo-1) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charges transfer RNAs (tRNAs) with a cognate histidine residue to produce...
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediates diverse cellular responses to external signals such as proliferation, ion transport, regulation of metabolism...
EAR2 (v-erb-a avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog-like 2) protein binds a cis enhancer element (TGACCT motif) upstream of the rennin gene...
c-Myb is the cellular homolog of the leukemogenic avian retroviral protein v-Myc. c-Myb is expressed predominantly in immature and rapidly dividing...
Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or...
DNA replication, recombination and repair, all of which are necessary for genomic stability, require the presence of exonucleases. In DNA replication, these...
Src-family kinases contain an amino terminal cell membrane anchor followed by an SH3 domain and an SH2 domain involved in modular association and activation,...
