%0 Journal Article %T Transcription factors in eukaryotic cells can functionally regulate gene expression by acting in oligomeric assemblies formed from an intrinsically disordered protein phase transition enabled by molecular crowding %A Mark C. Leake %J Archive of "Transcription". %D 2018 %R 10.1080/21541264.2018.1475806 %X High-speed single-molecule fluorescence microscopy in vivo shows that transcription factors in eukaryotes can act in oligomeric clusters mediated by molecular crowding and intrinsically disordered protein.
