How Transcription Factors Control Gene Expression Flashcards
1
Q
How do you get selective expression of a gene in a neuron?
A
The transcription initiation complex allows selective gene expression through the promoter and enhancer sequences as transcription factors bind to these sequences.
2
Q
Transcription factors..
A
drive the initiation of transcription. Each cell has its own suite of transcription factors so that it can create the protein and gene products it requires.
3
Q
What do transcription factors control?
A
suites of genes not the expression of a single gene.
