Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The activation domain is responsible for activating transcription by recruiting coactivators and components of the transcription machinery to the promoter region. If the activation domain is mutated or deleted, the activator can still bind to DNA but it won't be able to activate transcription. Therefore, the best choice is option C which states that the activator will bind to DNA without activating transcription. The other choices are not relevant because they describe reductions in the binding of other transcription factors, which may occur but are not directly related to the effect of a mutation or deletion in the activation domain.
