The SRF and MCM1 transcription factors

Curr Opin Genet Dev. 1992 Apr;2(2):221-6. doi: 10.1016/s0959-437x(05)80277-1.

Abstract

The mammalian transcription factor SRF (serum-response factor) and the related Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor MCM1 are the prototypes of a new class of dimeric DNA-binding proteins. Their function is regulated in part by the interactions of their DNA-binding domains with accessory proteins. Recent work has advanced the functional characterization of the contributions of SRF and MCM1, and their accessory proteins to transcriptional activation.
