The MADS‐box family of transcription factors has been defined on the basis of primary
sequence similarity amongst numerous proteins from a diverse range of eukaryotic …

Primary gene induction or repression in eukaryotes does not require de novo protein
synthesis, suggesting the involvement of posttranslational modifications. Since many …

The small heat shock proteins (sHsps) from human (Hsp27) and mouse (Hsp25) form large
oligomers which can act as molecular chaperones in vitro and protect cells from heat shock …

TRANSCRIPTION of the proto-oncogene c-fos is stimulated rapidly and transiently by serum
growth factors and mitogens1. Critical for this response is the serum-response element …

Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor that binds the sequence CC (A/T) 6GG
found in a number of growth factor-inducible and muscle-specific promoters. We describe …

The zinc finger-containing transcription factor GATA4 has been implicated as a critical
regulator of multiple cardiac-expressed genes as well as a regulator of inducible gene …

Serum response factor (SRF) is a transcription factor, which binds to a serum response
element (SRE) associated with a variety of genes including immediate early genes such as c …

The activation of several transcription factors in response to extracellular stimuli is fairly well
understood. In all cases, activation is mediated through phosphorylation by signal …

In the following columns, structural features, tissue specificity and some general informations
of each factor are noted. Unfortunately, the broad range of this listing left little space to …

A signaling pathway by which growth factors may induce transcription of the c-fos proto-
oncogene has been characterized. Growth factor stimulation of quiescent fibroblasts …
