Book Description
Together with its companion volume, Inducible Gene Expression, Vol. I: Environmental Stresses and Nutrients, this book provides an excellent comprehensive review of the present state of knowledge on inducible gene expression. It will be of great use to researchers as well as students and teachers in the fields of genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
This two volume set examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the inducible expression of genes in response to environmental stimuli, including ultraviolet light, heat, heavy metals, viruses and xenobiotics. A wide range of distinct gene-inductory mechanisms are discussed, with equal emphasis put on aspects of physiology, signal transduction from the exterior to the cell nucleus, and nuclear events ultimately leading to increased gene transcription. The papers gathered in this volume invite readers to compare the distinct transcription factors affecting gene expression and to recognize common and distinct strategies of inducible gene expression.
Volume I and Volume II are also available as set:
