Figure 10

Cellular adaptation to physiologically relevant stimuli occurring via a combination of direct and indirect modes of transcriptional control. IEG products have two modes of action in the cellular adaptation to metabolic signals. Some IEG products act indirectly by controlling transcription of target genes. Other IEG products are involved directly in regulated cellular processes. A coherent adaptation of these processes requires the combined action of both IEG and target gene products.
