Transcription factors, Regulation

Many vitamins or their metabolic derivatives are essential coenzymes for multiple metabolic reactions of life others or their metabolic derivatives are transcription factors, regulating gene expression and, therefore, protein synthesis.

A variety of special transcription factors regulate the behavior of the initiation complex. These proteins include JUN, FOS, and CREBP. CREEP (cAMP response element binding protein) is a protein that specially responds to cyclic AMP. JUN and FOS are used in the regulation of cell division. Further details on these two transcription factors appear in the Diet and Cancer chapter. Other Special tran-... 

How do the special transcription factors regulate the activities of the basal transcription factors Information on this issue is only beginning to become available. One might expect, for example, to find a scenario where RXR/VDR directly contacts TFIIA, to stimulate the activity of the initiation complex.

Translation of cellular stress models needs to be linked to the cellular physiology that occurs in single cells. This will ensure that the probability of events in terms of modeling will play a prime role. These events include the amount of transcripts and, therefore, molecules of certain transcription factors regulating the onset of stress response routes (Brul et al., 2002a).
