About this work

Description

Revised and completely up-to-date, the third edition of Eukaryotic Transcription Factors has been extensively rewritten to reflect the rapid advances in the field. These include the emerging roles of specific co-activator molecules such as CBP in the action of a number of different transcription factors emphasising particularly their ability to modulate chromatin structure. New sections cover current methods for determining DNA binding specificity, regulation by protein degradation and processing, Pax family transcription factors and novel anti-oncogenic transcription factors, as well as a discussion of transcription factors in human diseases. A special new colour section illustrates the various aspects of transcription factor structure.
