Structure and mechanism of the RNA polymerase II transcription machinery.

abstract：:In yeast, galactose triggers a rapid GAL4-dependent induction of galactose/melibiose regulon (GAL/MEL) gene transcription, and glucose represses this activation. We discovered that alterations in the physical state of the GAL4 protein correlate with activation and repression of the GAL/MEL genes. Using Western immunob...

Increased expression of the Ink4a/Arf locus, which encodes the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a) and tumor suppressor p19(Arf), limits beta-cell regeneration in aging mice, but the basis...
