Research Center for Glycoscience, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, AIST Tsukuba Central 6, 1-1-1 Higashi, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8566, Japan
J Mol Evol 56:649-57. 2003..Based on these results, DNA curvature is one of the major features of these promoter regions which might influence transcription through nucleosome positioning...
The negative transcription factor E4BP4 is associated with circadian clock protein PERIOD2Tomoya Ohno
Clock Cell Biology, Institute for Biological Resources and Functions, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Central 6 5, 1 1 1 Higashi, Tsukuba, Japan
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 354:1010-5. 2007..We also found that E4BP4 interacts with CRYPTOCHROME2 (CRY2), a key negative regulator in the mammalian circadian clock. These results suggest that E4BP4 is a component of the negative regulator complex of mammalian circadian clocks...
