Transcription regulation

Our research interest is transcription regulation in eukaryotes, using as model organism the budding yeast Saccharomyes cerevisiae. Currently, we can define three sublines : 1.-Transcription regulation by RNAPII and its coordination with other nuclear processes, through the study of several transcription factors, such as Sub1 and Spt4/5, and some of the RNAPII subunits, for instances, Rpb4 and Rpb7. 2.-Transcription termination and gene looping. 3.-The role of Sub1 as a shared factor by the three eukaryotic RNA polymerases We are currently four people in the group, the Principal Investigator, one PhD master and speciallyized technician and a technician under formation.
