The 24 pages that link to Transcription factor, each with the reason it gives.

• Gene expressionRelated: Such proteins recognize regulatory DNA and recruit or obstruct transcription machinery.

• ProteinBroader topic: These proteins connect molecular recognition to changes in gene expression.

• Hox genesNarrower topic: Hox genes encode this broad class of regulators.

• TranscriptionRelated: These regulators influence whether polymerase initiates at particular genes.

• PromoterRelated: Many transcription factors bind promoters and recruit or regulate RNA polymerase.

• OncogeneRelated: Oncogenic transcription factors alter expression of genes controlling proliferation and survival.

• Gene regulatory networkRelated: Transcription factors connect regulatory DNA to changes in target-gene expression.

• p53Narrower topic: p53 controls many stress-response genes by binding regulatory DNA.

• Intrinsically disordered proteinRelated: Disordered regions often help transcription factors recruit partners and control gene activity.

• EnhancerRelated: Enhancers recruit transcription factors whose combinations help determine when and where a gene is transcribed.

• Gene dosageRelated: Transcription factors can amplify or buffer expression changes caused by dosage.

• Epigenetic inheritanceRelated: Transient transcription-factor binding can regulate genes without necessarily creating an inherited state.

• JAK-STAT signaling pathwayNarrower topic: STATs act as transcription factors once activated and localized in the nucleus.

• NucleosomeRelated: Transcription factors often compete with or recruit nucleosomes at regulatory DNA.

• Cellular reprogrammingNarrower topic: Reprogramming factors alter cell identity by changing which genes are transcribed.

• Shinya YamanakaNarrower topic: The factors Yamanaka identified reset cell identity by changing patterns of gene expression.

• Cellular differentiationRelated: Transcription factors activate or repress genes that define a cell’s specialized identity.

• EpigenomeRelated: Its access to DNA can depend on epigenomic state.

• Non-coding DNARelated: Transcription factors recognize regulatory non-coding DNA to activate or repress genes.

• EpigenomicsRelated: Binding patterns connect accessible epigenomic regions to control of particular genes.

• OperonNarrower topic: Operon repressors and activators are bacterial transcription factors.

• Gregor PiatigorskyRelated: Lens gene regulation led his field to examine proteins controlling crystallin transcription.

• Pitt–Hopkins syndromeNarrower topic: TCF4 produces a transcription factor whose altered activity underlies the syndrome.

• Regulation of gene expressionRelated: Transcription factors activate or repress genes by recruiting or blocking transcription machinery.
