1. Analise funcional do regulador de transcrição do tipo bZIP AtbZIP9 de Arabidopsis thaliana atraves da superexpressão de seus genes alvos / Fucntional characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana bZIP transcription factor AtbZIP9 by overexpression of its target genes
Transcriptional regulatory factors (TFs) play an important role in controlling growth and development of ali organisms. bZIPs TFs have been described in ali eukaryotes and are characterized by a basic aminoacid rich DNA binding domain and a leucine zipper, responsible for dimerization. bZIPs have been reported to act in several different plantspecific proces

2. The ubiquitous subunit of erythroid transcription factor NF-E2 is a small basic-leucine zipper protein related to the v-maf oncogene.
Erythroid transcription factor NF-E2 is a tissue-restricted heterodimeric protein which recognizes an extended AP-1 motif [(T/C)TGCTGA(C/G)TCA(T/C)] found in the upstream locus control regions of the alpha- and beta-globin gene clusters. A cDNA clone encoding a cell-type-specific subunit of NF-E2, designated p45 NF-E2, has previously been characterized and s

3. Interaction of NPR1 with basic leucine zipper protein transcription factors that bind sequences required for salicylic acid induction of the PR-1 gene
The Arabidopsis thaliana NPR1 has been shown to be a key regulator of gene expression during the onset of a plant disease-resistance response known as systemic acquired resistance. The npr1 mutant plants fail to respond to systemic acquired resistance-inducing signals such as salicylic acid (SA), or express SA-induced pathogenesis-related (PR) genes. Using N

4. Complexity of the erythroid transcription factor NF-E2 as revealed by gene targeting of the mouse p18 NF-E2 locus.
High-level globin expression in erythroid precursor cells depends on the integrity of NF-E2 recognition sites, transcription factor AP-1-like protein-binding motifs, located in the upstream regulatory regions of the alpha- and beta-globin loci. The NF-E2 transcription factor, which recognizes these sites, is a heterodimer consisting of (i) p45 NF-E2 (the lar

5. A heteromeric complex containing the centromere binding factor 1 and two basic leucine zipper factors, Met4 and Met28, mediates the transcription activation of yeast sulfur metabolism.
Transcription activation of sulfur metabolism in yeast is dependent on two DNA binding factors, the centromere binding factor 1 (Cbf1) and Met4. While the role of Met4 was clearly established by showing that it acts as a transcription activator, the precise function in transcription of the multi-functional factor Cbf1 remains more elusive. We report here the

6. The high mobility group protein HMG I(Y) can stimulate or inhibit DNA binding of distinct transcription factor ATF-2 isoforms.
The high mobility group protein HMG I(Y) stimulates the binding of a specific isoform of the activating transcription factor 2 (ATF-2(195)) to the interferon beta (IFN-beta) gene promoter. HMG I(Y) specifically interacts with the basic-leucine zipper region of ATF-2(195), and HMG I(Y) binds to two sites immediately flanking the ATF-2 binding site of the IFN-

7. The Arabidopsis Abscisic Acid Response Gene ABI5 Encodes a Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor
The Arabidopsis abscisic acid (ABA)–insensitive abi5 mutants have pleiotropic defects in ABA response, including decreased sensitivity to ABA inhibition of germination and altered expression of some ABA-regulated genes. We isolated the ABI5 gene by using a positional cloning approach and found that it encodes a member of the basic leucine zipper transcript

8. A natural classification of the basic helix–loop–helix class of transcription factors
A natural (evolutionary) classification is provided for 242 basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) motif-containing proteins. Phylogenetic analyses of amino acid sequences describe the patterns of evolutionary change within the motif and delimit evolutionary lineages. These evolutionary lineages represent well known functional groups of proteins and can be furthe

9. An RNA Polymerase II Complex Containing All Essential Initiation Factors Binds to the Activation Domain of PAR Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor Thyroid Embryonic Factor
Transcription initiation of protein-encoding genes involves the assembly of RNA polymerase II and a number of general transcription factors at the promoter. A mammalian RNA polymerase II complex containing all of the components required for promoter-specific transcription initiation can be isolated by immunopurification with a monoclonal antibody directed ag

10. Structure and function of the b/HLH/Z domain of USF.
The basic/helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper (b/HLH/Z) transcription factor upstream stimulatory factor (USF) and its isolated DNA binding domain undergo a random coil to alpha-helix folding transition on recognizing their cognate DNA. The USF b/HLH cocrystal structure resembles the structure of the b/HLH/Z domain of the homologous protein Max and reveals (i) t

11. Molecular cloning of human CREB-2: an ATF/CREB transcription factor that can negatively regulate transcription from the cAMP response element.
The cAMP response element (CRE) is an octanucleotide motif (TGACGTCA) that mediates diverse transcriptional regulatory effects. In this report we describe the isolation and characterization of a full-length cDNA that encodes a CRE binding protein called CREB-2. Like other ATF/CREB transcription factors, the 351-amino acid CREB-2 protein contains a COOH-termi

12. Opposite orientations of DNA bending by c-Myc and Max.
The control of gene transcription requires specific protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. c-Myc, the protein product of the c-myc protooncogene, is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine-zipper class of transcription factors. Although c-Myc is able to bind to a specific core hexanucleotide DNA sequence (CACGTG), its precise function in modula
