Description
The field of eukaryotic gene transcription - conversion of genetic information into RNA molecules in the nuclei of cells - is a fast-moving and important area of molecular biology and one which is of broad interest. This book reviews current developments in this area, giving a comprehensive but focused account by a selection of leading researchers. This book is intended for ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, and final-year undergraduates.
Table of Contents
- Positive and negative regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription
- Histones and transcriptional control
- CREM: a bZip transcription factor central to the cAMP nuclear response
- Regulation of Rel transcription complexes
- Multifactorial and combinatorial models for specific transcriptional regulation
- The function of homeodomain proteins in Drosophila development
- Transcriptional regulation of skeletal myogenesis
- Control of transcriptional elongation by the human immunodeficiency virus Tat protein.

Description
This book concentrates on current research progress in understanding transcription and its regulation in eukaryotes. Major topics include mechanisms of activation of the transcriptional apparatus; the role of chromatin in transcription; integration of signal transduction mechanisms via transcriptional regulation; tissue and developmental regulation of transcription; and the regulation of gene expression through the cell cycle. There is an extensive listing of over 1400 references to the primary literature, with each chapter being written by a leading researcher in the field. Eukaryotic Gene Transcription is a timely and comprehensive update of current understanding in this central area, presented in a form that is readily accessible to a wide readership. In addition to reviewing existing knowledge, the authors provide valuable insights into future directions for research. This book is essential reading for all molecular biologists working on gene control. This book is intended for ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, and final-year undergraduates.
