A life-changing partnership: New regulatory complex turning on genes

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Max-Planck Institute of Immunobiology Freiburg have identified a novel protein complex that regulates around 4000 genes in the fruit fly Drosophila and likely plays an important role in mammals, too. Published today in Molecular Cell, their findings explain how a regulatory protein can lead a double life. (Molecular Cell, 24 June 2010)
