Flashcards
0/15
TFIIH
Involved in promoter clearance and transcription elongation as well as DNA repair
STAT3
Transduces signals from cytokines and growth factors and regulates gene expression
NFAT
Regulates the expression of genes that code for cytokines, cytokine receptors, and proteins involved in the growth and development of the immune system
GATA1
Regulates gene expression in hematopoietic cells and is essential for the development of red blood cells and megakaryocytes
AP-1
Regulates a variety of cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis
RORγt
Critical for the differentiation of T helper 17 cells, a subset of T helper cells involved in autoimmune diseases
NF-κB
Acts as a rapid-acting primary transcription factor, regulating the immune response
Oct-1
Involved in transcription of various genes, especially those related to the immune and stress responses
HIF-1α
Responds to decreases in available oxygen in the cellular environment, or hypoxia, by activating the transcription of genes involved in energy metabolism, angiogenesis, and apoptosis
TATA-binding protein (TBP)
Recognizes and binds to the TATA box within the promoter
P53
Functions as a tumor suppressor, regulating cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing too fast or in an uncontrolled way
E2F
Plays a crucial role in the control of the cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins, also involved in the regulation of apoptosis
Sp1
Recognizes and binds to GC-rich motifs within the promoter regions of its target genes
T-bet
Transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in the expression of the Th1 cytokine gene profile and the regulation of IFN-γ production
CREB
Binds to certain DNA sequences called cAMP response elements, thereby increasing or decreasing the transcription of the genes
