Scientists find cells rhythmically regulate their genes

21 octubre 2015

Even in a calm, unchanging environment, cells are not static. Among other actions, cells activate and then deactivate some types of transcription factors — proteins that control the expression of genes — in unpredictable and intermittent pulses. A new study shows that pulsing can allow two proteins to interact in a rhythmic fashion that allows them to control genes. These rhythms may underlie core processes in the cells of organisms across the kingdoms of life.
