Transcription Factors 101

  • Diverse set of proteins sharing common

functional role in the regulation and production of RNA transcripts

  • Present in all species
  • For the purpose of today’s talk, TF will refer

to the subset of the proteins that bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner

Transcription Factors 102

  • Act cooperatively with other TFs to confer

specific patterns of gene activity in response to developmental, physiological and environmental conditions

  • Much of their function is defined by protein-

protein interactions

  • Understanding TFs is key to understanding

developmental and tissue differentiation

Other Features

  • Predicted Binding Domain Structures (Phil

Bradley, FHCRC)

  • MeSH Over-representation Profiles –

Attribute Clouds (Warren Cheung)

  • TF Binding Site Profiles (Elodie Portales-

Casamar)

  • Parent-Child Relationships (inherit ortholog

content if no species-specific version)

Sustainability

  • Unclear if it can be sustained – not proven
  • Continuing journal sponsorships to motivate

authors to update articles (or for new authors to take on abandoned articles)

  • Focused TF Family-based papers (e.g.

Nuclear Receptors)

Lessons Learned

  • Motivation for authors – Sponsor Journals
  • Simple interfaces with extremely short

learning periods to keep authors’ attention

  • Dedicated manager to engage authors,

suggest changes and resolve issues

  • Focus allows the system to be tailored to the

needs of the field
