It is now clearly established that complex interactions between genes and environment are
involved in multiple aspects of neuropsychiatric disorders, from determining an individual's …

The biosynthesis of the zinc finger transcription factor Egr‐1 is stimulated by many
extracellular signaling molecules including hormones, neurotransmitters, growth and …

We have identified a novel zinc finger-containing transcription factor, called Osterix (Osx),
that is specifically expressed in all developing bones. In Osx null mice, no bone formation …

We reported previously that three ERF transcription factors, tobacco ERF3 (NtERF3) and
Arabidopsis AtERF3 and AtERF4, which are categorized as class II ERFs, are active …

A protein module called the WW domain recognizes and binds to a short oligopeptide called
the PY motif, PPxY, to mediate protein–protein interactions. The PY motif is present in the …

The Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) is a highly conserved, 75-aa region containing two
predicted amphipathic alpha-helices. The KRAB domain is present in the amino-terminal …

Ovules play a central role in plant reproduction, generating the female gametophyte within
sporophytic integuments. When fertilized, the integuments differentiate into the seed coat …

The EGR family of transcription regulatory factors, which is implicated in orchestrating the
changes in gene expression that underlie neuronal plasticity, has attracted the attention of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the early growth response protein (Egr) gene
family and its most extensively characterized member, Egr-1, first identified as an immediate …

We previously described the lymphocyte-restricted Ikaros gene encoding a zinc fìnger DNA-
binding protein as a potential regulator of lymphocyte commitment and differentiation. Here …
