Enhancers are regulatory elements that enhance transcription by facilitating the binding of transcription factors to the promoter region. Without enhancers, the transcription process may be less efficient. Show more…

Match the transcription factor with its effect when bound to DNA regulatory regions. Repressor decreases transcription Activator increases transcription When repressors are released from gene regulatory regions, what is the effect? transcription decreases transcription increases Understanding the effects of gene regulation requires an understanding of a chain of cause and effect: the role of each component; how each interacts, and what the end result will be given a certain set of conditions. Consider five components of an interacting series: mouse, cat, dog, human, and light. A squeaking mouse causes the cat to give chase, a running cat causes the dog to bark, a barking dog causes the owner to turn on the lights. If the mouse is silent, will the lights be turned on?

During transcription in cells, transcription regulators that bind to DNA thousands of nucleotides away from a gene's promoter can affect a gene's transcription. The is a complex of proteins that links distantly bound transcription regulators with the proteins bound closer to the transcription start site. Transcription activators can also interact with histone s, which alter chromatin by modifying lysines in the tail of histone proteins to allow greater accessibility to the underlying DNA. Gene repressor proteins can reduce the efficiency of transcription initiation by attracting histone s. Sometimes, many contiguous genes can become transcriptionally inactive as a result of chromatin remodeling, like the found in interphase chromosomes. acetyltransferase centrosome deacetylase deoxidase enhancer eukaryotic helicase heterochromatin leucine zipper Mediator operator peroxidase prokaryotic telomere viral
