"The Regulation of DNA Replication and Transcription" explores
basic processes of DNA replication and transcription in an effort
to identify the mechanisms responsible for the release of genetic
information and its role in the regulation of cellular events.
Concerned with discovering the fundamental concept that might
integrate and explain the wide range of existing lines of evidence,
the author reports and interprets the results of experiments
conducted in an impressive range of biological systems. Focused on
complex mechanisms at the biochemical level, these studies allow
analysis of the pathways involved when cells, organs and animal
systems react to various trigger molecules derived from both living
cells and exogenous sources. These include hormones, RNA, RNA
fragments, alkaloids, actinomycin D, and phorbol esters, as well as
chemical carcinogens and drugs. Comnining the results of these
studies with his own extensive work in this field, the author is
able to formulate a uniquely integrative biochemical model for the
gene expression, demonstrating that both biological and chemically
synthesized molecules can trigger the differential release of
information from the DNA and thus influence cell transformation.
Apart from its academic significance, the model offers high
potential assistance in the search for ways to induce or control
the expression of certain genes and, moreover, to promote
differentiation of given cells in vitro as well as in situ.
