Just the Facts of Chromatin Transcription
Article Abstract:
The complex task of transcribing a gene is complicated further in cells where DNA is organized into chromatin. These cells must recruit proteins that can alleviate nucleosome-mediated repression of transcription. Researchers have identified a protein complex named RSF (remodeling and spacing factor) that aids transcription initiation on chromatin templates in vitro.

Mechanisms of gene activation
Article Abstract:
Research points to basal transcription factor complex TFFID as a major target of transcription regulation activators. Multiple activators work synergistically in eukaryotic transcription. Tata-binding-protein-associated factors are the other factors needed for response to activators.

DNA repair and transcription: the helicase connection
Article Abstract:
Research has discovered that the human transcription initiation factor (TFIIH) is involved in both transcription and DNA repair. The way in which TFIIH operates as a helicase is described.
