Eukaryotic Transcriptional Regulatory Proteins, Kemal Büyükgüzel
Eukaryotic Transcriptional Regulatory Proteins, Kemal Büyükgüzel
Turkish Journal of Biology
Transcriptional regulation is of considerable importance in the expression of eukaryotic genes, and a considerable degree of regulation is controlled at the level of mRNA synthesis. As in prokaryotic organisms, transcriptional control in eukaryotes results from an interplay between regulatory DNA sequences and site-specific DNA-binding proteins. Transcription of eukaryotic genes is influenced by various regulatory elements, termed promoters, enhancers and silencers. These regulatory elements are composed of discrete DNA sequences, which constitute binding sites for sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. These proteins bind DNA by some common structural motifs. The motifs that are utilized by eukaryotic regulatory proteins are helix-turn-helix, zinc finger …

Germin, An Oxalate Oxidase, Has A Function In Manyaspects Of Plant Life, Mahmut Çalişkan
Turkish Journal of Biology
Germin, a molecular marker of wheat embryo germination, is a remarkably protease-resistant, apoplastic, homopentameric glycoprotein. Different forms of germin found to be related to various aspects of plant development have been discovered. Germins were determined in cereals, dicotyledonous angiosperms, gymnosperms and in a prosit, all these proteins are together called germin-like proteins due to their DNA sequence homology. Cereal germins have oxalate oxidase activity, an activity which generates hydrogen peroxide by degrading oxalic acid. Both of these molecules have been implied in the regulation of cell development, differentiation, signalling and defence systems of plants. The germin-like proteins found in dicotyledonous …
