Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotic ribosomal protein genes

Understanding ribosomal protein gene regulation provides a good avenue for understanding gene regulatory networks. Even after 5 decades of research on ribosomal protein gene regulation, little is known about how higher eukaryotic ribosomal protein genes are coordinately regulated at the transcriptional level. However, a few recent papers shed some light on this complicated problem. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
