Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Runx2 controls osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Runx2 organizes and assembles gene-regulatory complexes in nuclear microenvironments where target genes are activated or suppressed in a context-dependent manner. Intranuclear localization of Runx2 is mediated by the nuclear matrix-targeting signal (NMTS), an autonomous motif with a loop (L1)-turn-loop (L2) structure that forms...
