Download or read book Handbook of Transcription Factor NF kappaB written by Sankar Ghosh and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent evidence proving the molecular link between unchecked, chronic inflammation and cancer has implicated the transcription factor NF-kB as a key factor in both inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell proliferation. Since its initial identification 20 years ago as a simple regulating factor in one small part of the immune response, NF-kB is proving to be the most protean of all transcription factors. It has been shown to function in most cell types as a key regulator of a number of inducible genes. Research on the responsibilities and resulting pathologies of NF-kB has been prolific, but until now there has been no consolidated, multidisciplinary reference. Providing contributions from leading authorities involved with seminal discoveries on the subject, Handbook of Transcription Factor NF-kappaB is an entry point to understanding the broad role of this widely studied factor. Beginning with a summary, the authors introduce the uninitiated reader to the complexities of the NF-kB system. They explain how a multitude of extracellular and intercellular signals integrated at the level of this transcription factor have led to fundamental insights about many aspects of gene regulation and signal transduction. The chapters delve into specific research aspects concerning the function and regulation of NF-kB in a number of biological systems. They discuss inflammation, innate and adaptive immunity, liver integrity, and nervous system development, as well as the formation of hair, skin, teeth, and many other aspects of the developing vertebrate body. The pathological effects of excess NF-kB activity are addressed in chapters on diseases related to chronic inflammation, such as heart disease, muscular dystrophy, cancer, and tumor proliferation, as well as diseases caused by inherent deficiencies in NF-kB. The text culminates in a discussion of current efforts to develop therapies aimed at inhibiting the aberrant activity of NF-kB in different diseases.
Download or read book Nuclear Factor B written by R. Beyaert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen years after its initial description, nuclear factor-KB (NF-KB) endures as one of the most studied transcription factors. NF-KB has attracted widespread interest based on the variety of stimuli that activate it, the diverse genes and bio logical responses that it controls, the striking evolutionary conservation of struc ture and function among species, and its involvement in a variety of human diseases. The biochemical basis by which several stimuli converge to activate NF-KB has been largely elucidated during recent years. While first discovered as a key regulatory factor of the immune system, NF-KB is now recognized as an important player in the functioning of many organs and cell types. The ongoing examination of NF-KB signaling has revealed its ever expanding role in immune and inflammatory responses, but also in cancer and development. For this reason, numerous efforts are underway to develop safe inhibitors of NF-KB to be used in the treatment of both chronic and acute disease situations. The present book is the first to review and synthesize our knowledge of this interesting transcription factor. As such, the choice of subjects to review was daunting. To set the stage, an introductory chapter on activators and target genes, as well as the role they play in several responses, has been included.
Download or read book The Secret Lives of Transcription Factors written by Willis X. Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief explores unconventional functions of eight different transcription factors and concludes with a discussion of their biological significance and impact, including effects on processes within the cell nucleaus during development and in adult organisms. Chapter One details unconventional functions of the transcription factors GAGA, HP1, Rb, STAT, ATF-2 and NF-kB. Surprisingly, all of these transcription factors can be found in association with heterochromatin as well as euchromatin, and in some cases unconventional functions have been demonstrated for these heterochromatin-associated factors. Chapter Two focuses on the unconventional functions of STAT and HP1 and discusses their roles in the promotion of longevity, and in protection from cancer and DNA damage. Chapter Three explores the biological significance of the findings presented in the first two chapters and considers how global changes in the epigenome brought about by factors such as STAT and HP1 might affect processes within the cell nucleus during development and in adult organisms. This succinct yet thorough SpringerBrief is essential for researchers studying epigenetics, and to instructors of the subject. It should also appeal to people interested in the control of gene transcription and other processes in the cell nucleus, and to those interested in development.

Download or read book A NF kappaB Temporal Code to Ensure Specificity in Inflammatory Signaling written by Shannon L. Werner and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular signaling pathways transmit and process signals from receptors to activate gene expression programs that regulate development, cellular life/death decisions, or the coordinated activation of the immune response. While biochemical and molecular biological studies have identified a large number of signaling proteins with diverse adaptor and/or enzymatic functions, recent work has revealed that relatively few transcriptional effector proteins are responsible for specific gene expression programs in response to a large number of stimuli. This begs the question: what mechanisms ensure stimulus-specific gene expression? It has been shown that signaling events are highly dynamic, suggesting that further progress in the understanding of cellular signaling requires quantitative studies that include the temporal dimension. My graduate work has focused on the dynamic regulation of the transcription factor Nuclear Factor kappaB (NF-kB) in response to specific cellular stimuli, the mechanisms that encode stimulus-specific signaling dynamics, their potential functional roles, and the utility of integrated computational and experimental studies in unraveling complex regulatory networks.
