Networks of transcription factors with roles in environmental stress response

Abstract:
Genome-wide transcriptome analyses have identified hundreds of genes encoding transcription factors that are induced or repressed by a range of environmental stresses. Their complex expression patterns suggest that stress tolerance and resistance are controlled at the transcriptional level by a complicated gene regulatory network. The next steps towards understanding stress biology at the systems level are reconstructing the network and then verifying the roles these transcription factors play in the network.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
