Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nuclear hormone receptors recognize specific DNA sequences, often involving repeated sequences separated by a few bases, to regulate gene expression. They typically have two zinc finger domains that facilitate DNA binding, and a hinged region that allows for conformational changes necessary for their function. However, they are not highly conserved across prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; they are primarily found in eukaryotes.
