Synopsis

Proceedings of a summer 1998 meeting, presenting results of recent studies in gene transcription. Covers events ranging from activation, through promoter recognition, repression, chromosome structure, chromatin remodeling, initiation and elongation, and regulatory complexes and pathways. Subjects include targeting sir proteins to sites of action, the yeast RNA polymerase III transcription machinery, nuclear matrix attachment regions to confer long-range function on immunoglobulin, ATP-dependent remodeling of chromatin, and the transcriptional basis of steroid physiology.

About this title

Synopsis

Complex macromolecular machinery is responsible for gene-specific and cell-type selective patterns of gene expression. How it works is being revealed by increasingly sophisticated molecular dissection of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. This volume reviews the results and conclusions of recent studies in gene transcription. It covers events ranging from activation, through promoter recognition, repression, chromosome structure, chromatin remodelling, initiation and elongation, and the regulation of stopping and starting.
