Question

In eukaryotes, different groups of proteins regulate transcription initiation. Classify all of the transcription-associated proteins and protein components by their role in transcription. Initiates transcription Increases transcription Decreases transcription coactivator activator repressor general transcription factor

Answer 1

Proteins named transcription factors, help set specific genes on or off by binding to the DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

• A co-activator is the type of transcription factor that binds to the activators to increase the process of transcription.

• An activator is the type of transcription factor that increases transcription.

• A repressor is the type of transcription factor that decreases or prevents the transcription by blocking the RNA polymerase to the promoter.

• A general transcription factor, also known as a basal transcription factor, is a type of transcription factor that initiates transcription.
