Regulation of the amino-terminal transcription activation domain of progesterone receptor by a cofactor-induced protein folding mechanism.

abstract：:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that can be activated by structurally diverse chemicals. To examine the mechanisms responsible for the promiscuity in AhR ligand binding, we determined the effects of mutations within the AhR ligand-binding domain (LBD) on the activity of d...

abstract：:Translation is a fundamental step in gene expression, and translational control is exerted in many developmental processes. Most eukaryotic mRNAs are translated by a cap-dependent mechanism, which requires recognition of the 5'-cap structure of the mRNA by eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). eIF4E act...
