Transcription Regulation

c-Myc. See Myc Run Transcription Regulation

Myc genes (L-Myc, N-Myc and C-Myc) are a family of transcription factors. c-Myc is involved in transcription regulation, apoptosis and cell growth. Mutations in c-Myc have been tied to several cancers.

Regulating Immune Response Pathways with IKK beta

IKK beta, also known as IKK2, activates the NFkB complex by phosphorylating the NFkB inhibitor, IkBa. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and some not, have been found for IKKB. The Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kB) family of transcription factors regulates the expression of a wide range of genes critical for immune and inflammatory responses, cell survival, immune development, and cell proliferation (1). NF-kB was firstly identified by Dr.

c-Myc: Much More Than Just an Epitope Tag

The Myc gene family of proto-oncogenes consists of nuclear transcription factors that include l-Myc, n-Myc and c-Myc. They are key players in fundamental processes such as cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, and adhesion.

ZEB1: Regulating Organ Development and Metastasis

ZEB1 (Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that represses T-lymphocyte-specific IL2-gene expression through binding to a small negative regulatory domain within the IL2 transcriptional start site (1).

SREBPs: Global Regulator of Lipid Metabolism

Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are indirectly required for cholesterol biosynthesis and for uptake and fatty acid biosynthesis. There are three known SREBP isoforms, SREBP1a, 1c and SREBP2; these have different roles in lipid synthesis.

Nanog is a Master Controller of ES cell Pluripotency

Nanog, a homeodomain (HD) transcription factor, plays a critical role in the maintenance of embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal. Transcription regulator involved in inner cell mass and ES cell proliferation and self-renewal.

Controlling the HIF-1 Switch

PGC-1 alpha: Roles in Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Disease

An important aspect of mitochondria maintenance includes biogenesis to replenish damaged and degraded mitochondrial structures. The regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis is very complex and numerous genes regulate and synchronize protein synthesis from the mitochondrial and nuclear genome.

Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK) Cell Signaling

Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinases (ERK) also known as the Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (MAPK), MAPK/ERK proteins are a family of protein-serine/threonine kinases that are activated via the phosphorylation of tyrosine. MAPK/ERK are activated by diverse mechanisms.

Nuclear Factor kappa B Signaling in the Immune System

Nuclear Factor kappa B (NFkB) binds to the kappa-beta site of the immunoglobulin kappa light chain gene enhancer. Thus NFkB has become one of the widely studied transcription factors in innate and adaptive immune responses.
