title: Allosteric effects of DNA on transcriptional regulators.
abstract: Selective gene transcription is mediated in part by regulatory proteins that bind to DNA response elements. These regulatory proteins receive global information from signal-transduction events. But transcriptional regulators may also be modified in an allosteric manner by response elements themselves to generate the pattern of regulation that is appropriate to an individual gene.
