Abstract
Transcriptional control is the result of a complex cross-talk between regulatory factors and the basic transcription machinery. In addition to the simple regulation by the mere availability of regulatory factors, transcription has been shown, both in prokaryotes and in eucaryotes, to be modulated in several instances by posttranslational events, such as covalent modification (see the regulation of transcription of glutamine synthetase, Chap. 19), or redox control.
