kontrollfehérjék
Kontrollfehérjék, also known as regulatory proteins, are a diverse group of proteins that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and cellular processes. They act as molecular switches, binding to specific DNA sequences or other molecules to either activate or repress biological functions. This precise control is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to environmental changes.
These proteins exert their influence through various mechanisms. Some bind directly to promoter regions of genes,
The function of control proteins is often regulated by post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation or ubiquitination,
Dysregulation of control proteins is implicated in numerous diseases, including cancer, developmental disorders, and autoimmune conditions.
