Document Summary
Define how glucocorticoid inducible systems work qpcr: quantitative polymerase chain reaction and is a technology used for measuring dna using pcr. Arr1: transcriptional activator that binds specifically to the dna sequence 5"-[ag]gatt-3". Functions as a response regulator involved in his-to-asp phosphorelay signal transduction system. Could directly activate some type-a response regulators in response to cytokinins. Regulates shy2 by binding to its promoter (pubmed:19039136). Involved in the root-meristem size determination through the regulation of cell differentiation cycloheximide: is a naturally occurring fungicide produced by the bacterium streptomyces griseus. Cycloheximide exerts its effects by interfering with the translocation step in protein synthesis (movement of two trna molecules and mrna in relation to the ribosome), thus blocking eukaryotic translational elongation. Phylogenetic footprinting: is a technique used to identify transcription factor binding sites (tfbs) within a non-coding region of dna of interest by comparing it to the orthologous sequence in different species.
