Gene regulation proteins

Generators, superconducting, 23 869-870 Gene-regulating proteins, zinc finger in, 20 831-832... 

There are many examples for the specific phosphorylation of gene regulating proteins within their DNA-binding domain. Phosphorylation can influence either positively or negatively the abiltiy to specifically bind DNA. The situation becomes comphcated by the fact that many transcriptional activators possess multiple phosphorylation sites, whose phosphorylation can have different effects on DNA-binding. 

Interacts with cytosolic protein kinase, which activates a gene-regulating protein (directly or through a cascade of protein kinases), changing gene expression.
