Recent high-throughput transcription factor (TF) binding assays revealed that TF cooperativity is a widespread phenomenon. However, a global mechanistic and functional …
Most eukaryotic transcription factors (TFs) are part of large protein families, with members of the same family (ie, paralogous TFs) recognizing similar DNA-binding motifs but performing …
Eukaryotic transcription factors (TFs) from the same structural family tend to bind similar DNA sequences, despite the ability of these TFs to execute distinct functions in vivo. The cell …
Binding of transcription factors (TFs) to regulatory sequences is a pivotal step in the control of gene expression. Despite many advances in the characterization of sequence motifs …
Variations in noncoding regulatory sequences play a central role in evolution. Interpreting such variations, however, remains difficult even in the context of defined attributes such as …
Highlights•Transcription factors can cooperate with each other via multiple mechanisms that have different specificities and ranges.•Cooperativity can result from direct protein–protein …
DNA binding domains (DBDs) of transcription factors (TFs) recognize DNA sequence motifs that are highly abundant in genomes. Within cells, TFs bind a subset of motif-containing sites …
Cooperativity and antagonism between transcription factors (TFs) can drastically modify their binding to regulatory DNA elements. While mapping these relationships between TFs is …

Background Biologists are puzzled by the extremely low percentage (3%) of the binding targets of a yeast transcription factor (TF) affected when the TF is knocked out, a …
