During development, many crucial genes help organisms form properly. One of those genes is myogenic determination gene number 1 (MyoD), which can exert a powerful influence as a “genome organizer." It ...
How do bacteria avoid wasteful production of unnecessary proteins when their genes are always on? The answer lies in regulating the operon. As trp levels increase, trp binds to trpR, causing a ...
Peer pressure often evokes unexpected behavior, and protein partners might do the same. The Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) has long been considered a transcriptional repressor, given its ...
A high throughput screen of >30,000 diverse repressor domains from across the tree of life identifies repressor domains with unique structures that underpin enhanced epigenetic effector domain potency ...
Researchers have developed two types of programmable repressor elements that can switch off the production of an output protein in synthetic biology circuits by up to 300-fold in response to almost ...
Researchers show how repressor proteins ensure accurate gene expression by thwarting histone exchange. Two opposing teams battle it out to regulate gene expression on the DNA playing field. One, the ...
As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond ...
