TFII-IDelta and TFII-Ibeta: unequal brothers fostering cellular proliferation

Mol Cell. 2006 Oct 20;24(2):169-71. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2006.10.003.

Abstract

Activation of the immediate-early gene c-fos through MAP kinases is a hallmark of growth factor signaling. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Roy and colleagues (Hakre et al., 2006) show that TFII-I isoforms play differential roles in this process.
