E) TBPs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repressors are transcription factors that bind to specific DNA sequences, typically in enhancer regions or on the promoter of a gene, and inhibit transcriptional activity. This can occur by preventing the binding of activator proteins, blocking the recruitment of RNA polymerase, or inducing chromatin remodeling that inhibits access to the DNA template.
