ATF-6 is a member of the basic-leucine zipper family of transcription factors. Endoplasmic reticulum stress causes cleavage of transmembrane ATF-6 and...
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are activated by various extracellular stimuli including growth factors. The MEK kinases (also called MAP...
PREP-2 (Pbx-regulating protein-2), also known as PBX/knotted 1 homeobox 2 or PKNOX2, is a widely expressed protein belonging to the TALE (three amino acid...
Several mammalian kinases have been identified with sequence similarity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine kinase STE20. STE20 is involved in...
In Drosophila, the Polycomb (PcG) gene family encodes chromatin proteins that are required for the repression of homeotic loci in embryonic development. PcG...
The activation of signal transduction pathways by growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters is mediated by the MAP kinases ERK 1 and ERK 2. ERK proteins...
The septins are a family of GTPase enzymes, some of which are required for cytokinesis and others of which are associated with exocytosis. Members of the...
RNA polymerase (pol) III synthesizes tRNA, 5s rRNA, 7SL RNA and U6 snRNA and is overexpressed in many transformed cell lines and tumors in vivo, since cells...
The SWI/SNF complex is involved in the activation of transcription via the remodeling of nucleosome structure in an ATP-dependent manner. Brm (also...
The armadillo (ARM) repeat family of proteins are related to the Drosophila melanogaster armadillo protein, a protein essential for wingless signal...
The PIG (p53-induced gene) gene family encodes redox-controlling proteins that are involved in p53 tumor suppressor activity. One member of the PIG gene...
PFK-1 undergoes activation in the presence of elevated AMP. The most potent activator is fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, which is produced by PFK-2 from the same...
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol (DAG) to produce phosphatidic acid. DAG and phosphatidic acid are lipids that act as second...
E4BP4, also known as NFIL3, functions as a transcriptional repressor and is a member of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family. E4BP4...
The MAPKAP kinases (for MAP kinase activated protein kinases) are a group of MAP kinase substrates which are themselves kinases. In response to activation,...
C/EBP (alpha) regulates gene expression in a variety of tissues including liver, adipose, lung and intestine. C/EBP (alpha) uses a bipartite structural motif...
ZNF174, also known as ZSCAN8 or AW-1, is a transcriptional repressor that belongs to the Krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. It is expressed in a...
Activating signal cointegrator 1 (ASC1) is a novel 66 kDa coactivator of nuclear receptors which functions in conjunction with CBP-p300 and SRC-1 and may...
In mammalian cells, transcription is regulated in part by high molecular weight coactivating complexes that mediate signaling between transcriptional...
The transcriptional coactivator SYT (synovial translocation protein) contains a conserved amino terminal SNH domain and a carboxy terminal QPGY domain, which...
