You create a chimeric protein that contains the DNA binding domain of the Fork head transcription factor and the transactivation domain of the Sp1 transcription factor. Which of the following predictions would you make concerning the activity of your chimeric protein?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chimeric protein would activate the transcription of genes normally activated by Fork head because it contains the DNA binding domain of Fork head, determining the specific genes it can bind to, while the transactivation domain of Sp1 would provide the mechanism for activating transcription once bound.
