Numerous cell surface receptors modulate cellular motile functions through the control of dynamic actin polymerization. The status of cytoplasmic actin is sensed and communicated to the nucleus in ...

Bacterial transcription is a production line of copying over genetic instructions from double stranded DNA to produce RNA, which is then used for the subsequent production of proteins that the ...

Scientists used the auxin-inducible degron 2 system on CTCF, bringing the novel approach to bear on a fundamental protein. CTCF is a critical protein known to play various roles in key biological ...

When a gene is active, there is cellular machinery that transcribes the sequence of that gene from DNA into messenger RNA. This is a fundamental cellular process that is essential to the proper ...

Transcription factors are an essential part of gene expression. Some of these proteins are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes ...
