Molecular teamwork: how three protein families and DNA work together to control gene expression
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellHong and Rusnak et al. explore how a 1000-bp region of DNA activates gene expression in giant cells.
By Adrienne Roeder and Byron Rusnak
Background: Specialized cell types carry out specific functions within plants. Some genes are expressed uniquely in one cell type and not expressed in other…
