title: Eukaryotic transcription factors.
abstract: Recently determined high-resolution structures of eukaryotic transcription factors have illuminated the enzymatic mechanism underlying transcription. Progress has been made in characterising protein-protein interactions between negative cofactors and general transcription factors, and between transrepression domains and corepressors. Structures of sequence-specific transcription factors have revealed further versatility in the mode of interaction with DNA and several have provided new insights into the molecular basis of human disease.
