title: Adding specificity to artificial transcription activators.
abstract: In this issue, Mapp and colleagues describe a significant advance in the design of artificial transcription activators that function in a cell-type-specific manner. [1] The authors show that peptides selected for binding a component of the yeast transcription complex require its presence for effective transcriptional activation.
