title: Gene regulation: protein escorts to the transcription ball.
abstract: A new way by which the potency of a eukaryotic transcription factor can be regulated has been discovered, in which nuclear factors increase the concentration of the transcription factor's active form by modulating an otherwise unfavorable equilibrium between monomeric and dimeric forms of the protein.
