First unbiased proteome scale study expands the number of known transcriptional activators

Also known as transcriptional activators for their ability to induce transcription of genes into RNA messages, these proteins are essential for the cells to function properly. Yet little is known about these proteins, and it wasn't clear how many activators there might be in human cells – until now.
