Abstract:
:Many Zn(II)2Cys6 transcriptional regulators exhibit changes in phosphorylation that are coincident with their roles in transcriptional activation. It is, however, unclear whether these changes occur as a cause of, or as a result of, transcriptional activation. In this paper, we explore the relationship between these two events and collate data available on the phosphorylation state of those transcriptional regulators where the relationship has not been clearly identified.
