The Ace2 transcription factor from budding yeast has both a regulated nuclear localization signal and a regulated nuclear export signal, and Ace2 phosphorylation by the Cbk1 kinase results in Ace2 accumulation in daughter cells but not mothers.

This study examines the IL-11 mediated activation of downstream signaling and expression of effector molecules to resolve the controversies associated with the IL-11 mediated regulation of the invasiveness of two commonly used trophoblastic cell models viz. JEG-3 and HTR-8/SVneo cells. It has...

Background: Cellular functions depend on genetic, physical and other types of interactions. As such, derived interaction networks can be utilized to discover novel genes involved in specific biological processes. Epistatic Miniarray Profile, or E-MAP, which is an experimental platform that...
- ATM is a target for positive regulation by E2F-1. Berkovich, Eli; Ginsberg, Doron // Oncogene;1/16/2003, Vol. 22 Issue 2, p161
The E2F-1 transcription factor is a critical downstream target of the tumor suppressor, RB. When activated, E2F-1 induces cell proliferation. In addition, deregulation of E2F-1 constitutes an oncogenic stress that can induce apoptosis. The protein kinase ATM is a pivotal mediator of the response...

The E2F-1 transcription factor is regulated during cell cycle progression and induced by cellular stress, such as DNA damage. We report that checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) regulates E2F-1 activity in response to the DNA-damaging agent etoposide. A Chk2 consensus phosphorylation site in E2F-1 is...
