Membrane biology: membrane-regulated transcription

Curr Biol. 2000 Nov 30;10(23):R869-71. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00822-8.

Abstract

The activation of membrane-bound transcription factors involves release from the membrane by proteolysis. Recent studies show that, for some proteins, cleavage is performed by the proteasome, whereas others require specific proteases.
