48 Repeat 2 contains a sterol regulatory element (SRE) that enhances transcription when the intracellular sterol concentration is low through interaction with a transcriptional factor designated as sterol regulatory element binding protein-1.
The Andersen et al. (1993) model describes induction as a function of receptor occupancy multiplied by a species-specific adjustment factor designated as "fold".
This procedure involved the introduction of a new shift factor, diffusion time shift factor, designated as aDt.
So far, one interesting case has been reported in Arabidopsis where miRNA was proposed to regulate the expression of APETALA2 transcription factor (designated as RAP2.2) in controlling a key carotenoids biosynthesis gene (phytoene synthase gene) [ 15].
In contrast, transplantation of astrocytes derived from GRP cells by exposure to ciliary neurotrophic factor (designated as GDAsCNTF), or of GRP cells themselves, provided no benefit (Davies et al, 2008).
The process of EMT is driven by a group of transcription factors designated as EMT transcription factors, such as Snail, Slug, Twist, and the recently identified T-box family member, Brachyury.
Here we describe a group of host factors designated as 'NFAR proteins' that are recruited by the replication machinery of bovine viral diarrhea virus, a close relative of the human pathogen hepatitis C virus.
Sequence conservation between EBF1 and Drosophila Col then showed that this DBD constituted the molecular trademark of a new family of transcription factors designated as COE proteins [ 2, 11].
Pax6, alias ey and toy, initiates the eye development program by activating a set of subordinate transcription factors designated as the Retinal Determination Gene Network (RDGN), illustrated in figure 4. The most important member of these subordinate transcription factors is sine oculis (so), a member of the six gene family (fig. 5).
Using this assay system, we identified two stimulatory host factors, designated as RNA polymerase activating factors (RAF) -I and -II, which were identified as Hsp90 and UAP56/BAT1, respectively (Momose et al., 2001; 2002).
