Eukaryotic transcription factors can track and control their target genes using DNA antennas
To carry out their function, transcription factors must efficiently recognize specific DNA sequence targets, a complex problem in the context of eukaryotic chromatin. Here the authors use single-molecule biophysical experiments, statistical mechanical theory and bioinformatics analyses to conclude t...

To carry out their function, transcription factors must efficiently recognize specific DNA sequence targets, a complex problem in the context of eukaryotic chromatin. Here the authors use single-molecule biophysical experiments, statistical mechanical theory and bioinformatics analyses to conclude that interactions with non-target sequences near promoters serve to increase overall affinity and targeting efficiency. |
