Scientists have uncovered how a surprisingly structured protein helps disordered molecules regulate gene expression, upending ...

Other major regulators of gene expression—including proteins involved in stress responses, stem cell maintenance and cancer progression—also rely on beta-catenin to link up with BAF.
