Unreferenced date December 2009 An activator is a DNA binding protein that regulates one or more gene s by increasing the rate of transcription genetics transcription . The activator may increase transcription by virtue of a connected domain which assists in the formation of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme , or may operate through a Coactivator genetics coactivator . A coactivator binds the DNA binding activator and contains the domain assisting holoenzyme formation. A particular activator may bind one or more specific coactivators. Role in transcriptional regulation RNA polymerase RNAP is usually bound to the Promoter biology promoter region on the gene which creates a complex that sometimes undergoes a transition that allows Transcription genetics transcription to take place. An activator essentially recruits the RNAP to its promoter region, by binding to the activator binding site itself which serves as a liaison between the RNA polymerase and the DNA. Sometimes, the activator is required for the RNA polymerase to change DNA conformation through allostery to initiate transcription. RNAP does not spontaneously transform into the open complex and requires the activator. Examples In the lac operon of the bacteria Escherichia coli , the Lac repressor is constitutively expressed and always bound to the Operon Operator operator region of the promoter, interfering with the ability of RNAP to bind to the promoter and transcribe the lac operon. In the presence of lactose , the repressor changes conformation and falls off the operator and RNAP is able to bind to the promoter. The catabolite activator protein CAP is an example of an activator for this operon, present in prokaryotic systems. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate cAMP is present in low levels of glucose, and binds to CAP which changes to an active conformation. Only then, can CAP act as an activator and help recruit RNAP ... expression terms Operon Regulation of gene expression Transcription factor DEFAULTSORT Activator ... more details

Image SB activator back.jpg thumb ...and back view The splint activator of Soulet Besombes is a removable appliance for the treatment of dental and jaw anomalies. It is basically a stylized activator , which is however not fitted individually, but is mass produced in various shapes and sizes. The device is also known as Position Trainer or Kaukraft Kiefer Former bite force jaw former, K3F . Design and operation The device is made from flexible material as one single piece. At its center, it is completely even and approximates the shape of an ideal dental arch. This flat part is surrounded by ramp shaped walls. The teeth of the upper and lower jaw bite into the space between these walls accordingly. Normally, there are no individual tooth slots, with the prominent exception of the Australian Myobrace design. The appliance sits passively between the upper and lower jaw, and does not exercise any force by itself to the teeth. When the patient bites together, the teeth standing out of line collide with ramp shaped walls and are moved into their correct position over time. This works due to the principle of the inclined plane and the spring force of the elastic deformation of the device. By biting more or less intensively, the patient can determine by himself how much force is applied. When the appliance is worn, the lower jaw is positioned into Angle class 1 relation towards the upper jaw. This is supposed to get the jaw muscles used to this position, and to let the patient learn the correct swallowing pattern. The teeth that in this jaw position do not reach the central plane ...

unreferenced date March 2010 In phosphor s and scintillator s, the activator is the element added as dopant to the crystal of the material to create desired type of nonhomogeneities. In luminescence , only a small fraction of atoms, called emission centers or luminescence centers , emit light. In inorganic phosphors, these inhomogeneities in the crystal structure are created usually by addition of a trace amount of dopant s, impurities called activators . In rare cases dislocation s or other crystal defect s can play the role of the impurity. The wavelength emitted by the emission center is dependent on the atom itself, its electronic configuration , and on the surrounding crystal structure. The activators prolong the emission time afterglow . In turn, other materials such as nickel can be used to quench the afterglow and shorten the decay part of the phosphor emission characteristics. The electronic configuration of the activator is depending on its oxidation state and is crucial for the light emission. Oxidation of the activator is one of the common mechanisms of phosphor degradation. The distribution of the activator in the crystal is also of high importance. Diffusion of the ions can cause depletion of the crystal from the activators with resulting loss of efficiency. This is another mechanism of phosphor degradation. The scintillation process in inorganic materials is due to the electronic band structure found in the crystal s. An incoming particle can excite an electron from the valence band to either the conduction band or the exciton band located just below the conduction band and separated from the valence band by an energy gap see picture .

Image Lac operon.png thumb 400px Lac operon. Catabolite Activator Protein is labeled cAMP activator protein. Catabolite Activator Protein or CAP is a transcriptional activator that exists as a homodimer in solution, with each subunit comprising a Ligand biochemistry ligand binding domain at the N terminus CAP sup N sup , residues 1 138 , which is also responsible for the dimerization of the protein, and a DNA binding domain at the C terminus DBD, residues 139 209 . Two cAMP cyclic AMP molecules bind dimeric CAP with negative cooperativity and function as allosteric effectors by increasing the protein s Affinity pharmacology affinity for DNA . Cytosol ic cAMP levels rise when the amount of glucose transported into the cell is low, but lactose is readily available. CAP has a characteristic helix turn helix structure which allows it to bind to successive major groove s on DNA. The two helices are reinforcing each causing a 43 turn in the structure so overall causing a 94 degree turn in the DNA. ref cite pmid 1653449 ref This opens the DNA molecule up, allowing RNA polymerase to bind and Transcription genetics transcribe the genes involved in lactose catabolism . CAP thus enhances the expression of the lac operon when lactose is present but not glucose. This requirement reflects the greater simplicity with which glucose may be metabolized in comparison to lactose. The cell prefers glucose, and if it is available, the lac operon is not activated, even when lactose is present. This is an effective way of integrating the two different signals. CAP is responsible for catabolite repression , a well known example of a modulon .

In terms of its structure, Micera is similar to the previous synthetic EPO drugs, except that it is connected to a chemical called polyethylene glycol PEG , which makes it last longer in the body. According to Roche, the product has the longest half life of all FDA approved erythropoiesis stimulating agents ESAs up to 6 times longer than darbepoetin alfa and up to 20 times longer than epoetin.

See Template PBB Controls to Stop updates. PBB Summary section title summary text The protein encoded by this gene is located in the cytoplasm and is part of the GAP1 family of GTPase activating proteins. The gene product stimulates the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21 but not its oncogenic counterpart. Acting as a suppressor of RAS function, the protein enhances the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP bound form of RAS, thereby allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. Mutations leading to changes in the binding sites of either protein are associated with basal cell carcinomas. Alternative splicing results in two isoforms where the shorter isoform, lacking the N terminal hydrophobic region but retaining the same activity, appears to be abundantly expressed in placental but not adult tissues. ref cite web title Entrez Gene RASA1 RAS p21 protein activator GTPase activating protein 1 url http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov sites entrez?Db gene&Cmd ShowDetailView&TermToSearch 5921 accessdate ref Domains RasGAP contains one SH3 domain and two SH2 domain s, a PH domain , and a GAP domain .
