Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

His main research concerns Molecular biology, Transcription, Cell biology, Transcription factor and Genetics. His Molecular biology research integrates issues from Transcription Factor TFIID, TATA box, TATA-Box Binding Protein, RNA polymerase II and Transcription factor II D. His study looks at the relationship between Transcription Factor TFIID and topics such as TAF1, which overlap with TATA-Binding Protein Associated Factors.

Laszlo Tora interconnects Gene duplication, Dna template, Transferase complex and Genome instability in the investigation of issues within Transcription. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Coactivator, Protein subunit, TATA-binding protein, Nuclear receptor and Histone. His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reporter gene, Yeast, Glucocorticoid receptor and Function.

His most cited work include:

  • Two distinct estrogen‐regulated promoters generate transcripts encoding the two functionally different human progesterone receptor forms A and B. (1312 citations)
  • Polyglutamine expansion as a pathological epitope in Huntington's disease and four dominant cerebellar ataxias (604 citations)
  • The N-terminal part of TIF1, a putative mediator of the ligand-dependent activation function (AF-2) of nuclear receptors, is fused to B-raf in the oncogenic protein T18. (575 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Laszlo Tora focuses on Cell biology, Molecular biology, Transcription factor II D, Genetics and Transcription. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Coactivator, Chromatin, Histone, Histone acetyltransferase and Regulation of gene expression. He has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Multiprotein complex, Enhancer, Transcription factor, TATA-Box Binding Protein and TATA-binding protein.

His work deals with themes such as Transcription Factor TFIID, Transcription factor II A, Histone fold, RNA polymerase II and Transcription preinitiation complex, which intersect with Transcription factor II D. His Transcription Factor TFIID research incorporates elements of TATA-Binding Protein Associated Factors and TAF1. His research investigates the connection with Transcription and areas like Protein subunit which intersect with concerns in Acetyltransferase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (46.67%)
  • Molecular biology (42.38%)
  • Transcription factor II D (35.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cell biology (46.67%)
  • Transcription (31.43%)
  • RNA polymerase II (30.95%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Laszlo Tora mainly focuses on Cell biology, Transcription, RNA polymerase II, Transcription factor II D and General transcription factor. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromatin, Histone acetyltransferase, Acetylation, Histone and DNA repair. Laszlo Tora has included themes like Protein subunit, Transcription factor and Gene expression in his Transcription study.

His Transcription factor II D research includes themes of Transcriptional regulation and Yeast. His General transcription factor research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. His Promoter study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Molecular biology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The SAGA coactivator complex acts on the whole transcribed genome and is required for RNA polymerase II transcription (129 citations)
  • SAGA Is a General Cofactor for RNA Polymerase II Transcription (106 citations)
  • Transcription of Nearly All Yeast RNA Polymerase II-Transcribed Genes Is Dependent on Transcription Factor TFIID. (90 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Laszlo Tora spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Transcription, RNA polymerase II, Genetics and Gene. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Transcription factor II D, Yeast and DNA replication. Laszlo Tora combines subjects such as Chromatin, Acetyltransferase and Gene expression with his study of Transcription.

Laszlo Tora interconnects Coactivator, Molecular biology, Transcription initiation and Protein–protein interaction in the investigation of issues within Chromatin. RNA polymerase II is a subfield of Promoter that he explores. His work in Transcription factor II A covers topics such as TAF4 which are related to areas like Transcription Factor TFIID and TAF2.
