Journal ArticleDOI

The general transcription machinery and general cofactors.

TL;DR: These cofactors are capable of repressing basal transcription when activators are absent and stimulating transcription in the presence of activators, with emphasis on the events occurring after the chromatin has been remodeled but prior to the formation of the first phosphodiester bond.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Double Bromodomain-containing Chromatin Adaptor Brd4 and Transcriptional Regulation

TL;DR: The dual role of Brd4 in gene activation and repression illustrates how a dynamic chromatin-binding adaptor is able to recruit distinct transcriptional regulators to modulate promoter activity through cell cycle progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

SIRT1 deacetylates and inhibits SREBP-1C activity in regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: It is reported that SREBP-1c, a key lipogenic activator, is an in vivo target of SIRT1, and acetylation levels were elevated in diet-induced obese mice, and hepatic overexpression of SIRC1 or treatment with resveratrol daily for 1 week decreased acetylated SRE BP- 1c levels with beneficial functional outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of an intrinsic human TFIID subunit that interacts with multiple transcriptional activators

TL;DR: The cloning of a complementary DNA encoding a human TFIID TAF, TAFII55, that has no known homolog in Drosophila TAFID is now described and may be a co-activator that mediates a response to multiple activators through a distinct mechanism.
