Adipogenesis is regulated by a complex cascade of transcriptional factors, among them KLF4. This factor was previously shown to be necessary for adipose differentiation. We found that GSK3β activity was required for Klf4 and Klf5 expression during adipogenesis. In addition, retinoic acid inhibited Klf4 and Klf5 expression but not that of Cebpb. Protein synthesis inhibition showed that the transient expression of Klf4, Cebpb and Klf5 during early adipogenesis seemed to require a yet unknown protein for their repression. We also found that Klf4 forced expression in 3T3-F442A cells cultured under non-adipogenic conditions did not induce adipogenesis, nor the expression of Cebpb or Klf5, a Cebpb target gene, showing that KLF4 was not sufficient for adipose differentiation to take place. This would suggest that a more complex combination of molecular pathways not yet understood, is involved during early adipogenesis.

Hypertension (HT) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are important transcription factors in eukaryotes. Studies have reported that KLF4 and KLF5 are correlated with several cardiovascular diseases, whereas population studies for associations between HT and KLF4 or KLF5 have been rarely reported.

Cell atlas projects have nominated recurrent transcriptional states as drivers of biological processes and disease, but their origins, regulation, and properties remain unclear. To enable complementary functional studies, we developed a scalable approach for recapitulating cell states using CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) Perturb-seq. Aided by a novel multiplexing method, we activated 1,836 transcription factors in two cell types.

Jeryak is the F1 generation of the cross between Gannan yak and Jersey cattle, which has the advantages of fast growth and high adaptability. The growth and development of skeletal muscle is closely linked to meat production and the quality of meat. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of muscle growth differences between Gannan yak and Jeryak analyzed from the perspective of chromatin opening have not been reported.

The Kruppel-Like Factor family of regulatory proteins, which has 18 members, is transcription factors. This family contains zinc finger proteins, regulates the activation and suppression of transcription, and binds to DNA, RNA, and proteins. Klfs related to the immune system are Klf1, Klf2, Klf3, Klf4, Klf6, and Klf14.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of transcription factors regulate transcriptional activity and play a key role in essentially all biological processes and generate indispensable insight towards biological function including activity state, subcellular localization, protein solubility, protein folding, substrate trafficking, and protein-protein interactions. Amino acids modified chemically via PTMs, function as molecular switches and affect the protein function and characterization and increase the proteome complexity. Krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) control essential cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, migration, programmed cell death and various cancer-relevant processes.
