Proteinaceous transcription factors that regulate the transcription of genes and/or the translation of messenger RNA encoding proteins involved in apoptosis, such as CD95 and p53, are disclosed, together with methods for the use of such transcription factors in the modulation of apoptotic cell death. Methods for regulating apoptosis have therapeutic and prophylactic applications for a variety of disorders, including cancer, viral and retroviral infections, neurodegenerative disorders, immune system dysfunction, and other disorders. |
