In eukaryotes, a homeobox encodes a protein domain (the homeodomain) which can bind DNA that act as part of transcription factors to switch on cascades of other genes that induce cellular differentiation by initiating the cascades of coregulated genes required to make individual tissues, organs, or body parts.

These experimental data establish the retromer complex as a key spatiotemporal regulator of IFNAR endosomal sorting and a new factor in type - I IFN - induced JAK / STAT signalling and gene transcription.

The three - dimensional organization of the genome represents a cell - type specific means to regulate gene transcription; however, we currently lack a detailed understanding of the architectural changes that occur during the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) due to the inherent inefficiency of the reprogramming process [1].

The use of endogenous HMOX1 protein expression as a readout allowed the identification of compounds that specifically derepress Bach1 and induce transcription of an Nrf2 - responsive gene.

As a transcription factor, STAT6 usually recognizes a consensus - binding site (TTCTGTTGAA) to induce the transcription of the responding gene.
