A subset of TAF(II)s are integral components of the SAGA complex required for nucleosome acetylation and transcriptional stimulation.

TLDR
A role for certain TAF(II) proteins in the regulation of gene expression at the level of chromatin modification that is distinct from the TFIID complex and TAF (II)145 is illustrated.

The coregulator exchange in transcriptional functions of nuclear receptors

TL;DR: Based on their importance in biology and medicine, as well as the relatively simple mechanism of regulation, NR represent one of the most intensively studied and best-understood classes of transcription factors at the molecular level.

Dissecting the regulatory circuitry of a eukaryotic genome

TL;DR: The results reveal an unanticipated level of regulation which is superimposed on that due to gene-specific transcription factors, a novel mechanism for coordinate regulation of specific sets of genes when cells encounter limiting nutrients, and evidence that the ultimate targets of signal transduction pathways can be identified within the initiation apparatus.

Nuclear receptor coregulators: cellular and molecular biology.

TL;DR: This review will summarize selected aspects of the current knowledge of the cellular and molecular biology of nuclear receptor coregulators.

Helix-loop-helix proteins: regulators of transcription in eucaryotic organisms.

TL;DR: The helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of transcriptional regulatory proteins are key players in a wide array of developmental processes, including neurogenesis, myogenesis, hematopoiesis, and pancreatic development and the structure and functional properties are examined.

Mass Spectrometric Sequencing of Proteins from Silver-Stained Polyacrylamide Gels

TL;DR: Silver staining allows a substantial shortening of sample preparation time and may, therefore, be preferable over Coomassie staining, and this work removes a major obstacle to the low-level sequence analysis of proteins separated on polyacrylamide gels.
Journal ArticleDOI

An approach to correlate tandem mass spectral data of peptides with amino acid sequences in a protein database.

TL;DR: The approach described in this manuscript provides a convenient method to interpret tandem mass spectra with known sequences in a protein database.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone acetylation and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms

TL;DR: Understanding of the causal relationship between histone acetylation and gene expression has been enhanced dramatically by the identification of proteins with intrinsic hist one acetylase and deacetylase activity, which led to a major paradigm shift in understanding of chromatin structure and transcription regulation.

Tetrahymena Histone Acetyltransferase A: A Homolog to Yeast Gcn5p Linking Histone Acetylation to Gene Activation

TL;DR: These findings shed light on the biochemical function of the evolutionarily conserved Gcn5p-Ada complex, directly linking histone acetylation to gene activation, and indicate that histoneacetylation is a targeted phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yeast Gcn5 functions in two multisubunit complexes to acetylate nucleosomal histones: characterization of an Ada complex and the SAGA (Spt/Ada) complex.

TL;DR: The function of Gcn5 as a hist one acetyltransferase within the Ada and SAGA adaptor complexes indicates the importance of histone acetylation during steps in transcription activation mediated by interactions with transcription activators and general transcription factors.
