## Abstract We analyze the structure of the yeast transcriptional regulation network, as revealed by chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, and characterize the molecular evolution of both its transcriptional regulators and their target (regulated) genes. We test the hypothesis that highly conn

Since the discovery of metallothionein in 1957, it has been accepted that the primary roles of this protein are: 1) detoxification of heavy metals, and 2) regulation of the metabolism of essential metals. Recently, studies have suggested an additional role for metallothionein as a free radical scave
## Abstract Recent studies have shown that only breast cancer epithelial cells with intact p53 can induce metallothionein (MT) synthesis after exposure to metals. In this study, the potential role of p53 on regulation of MT was investigated. Results demonstrate that zinc and copper increased metal
In yeast (S. cerevisiae) the stringent response is known to include rapid, selective, and severe transcriptional curtailment for genes specifying cytoplasmic rRNAs and r-proteins. We have shown that transcription of the mitochondrial 21S rRNA gene is also congruently and selectively curtailed during
Transcription regulation of metallothionein (MT) isoform promoters was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) K1 and MT gene amplified, cadmium-resistant (Cd R ) cells. The transfected promoter of Chinese hamster MTI and MTII genes can be activated in both cell lines by stimulation with Cd or Z
