Title:Global analysis of bacterial transcription factors to predict cellular target processes
Creators Name:Doerks, T. and Andrade, M.A. and Lathe, W. and von Mering, C. and Bork, P.
Abstract:Whole-genome sequences are now available for >100 bacterial species, giving unprecedented power to comparative genomics approaches. We have applied genome-context methods to predict target processes that are regulated by transcription factors (TFs). Of 128 orthologous groups of proteins annotated as TFs, to date, 36 are functionally uncharacterized; in our analysis we predict a probable cellular target process or biochemical pathway for half of these functionally uncharacterized TFs.
