Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A repressor protein is expected to bind to a silencer sequence. Silencers are DNA sequences that are responsible for reducing the transcriptional activity of a promoter. Repressor proteins bind to silencers and prevent transcription factors from binding to the promoter, thereby inhibiting transcription.
