Split Personality of Transcription Factors Inside and Outside the Nuclear Border

Abstract: Growing evidence indicates that transcription factors may have functions entirely distinct from the regulation of gene transcription. Here we describe three transcription factors that, when outside the nucleus, regulate calcium homeostasis by three independent but convergent mechanisms.
