Which of the following terms defines DNA-binding proteins that recognize and accurately initiate transcription at specific eukaryotic promoter sequences?
A)enhancers
B)transcription factors
C)response elements
D)chromatin-trascription remodelling complexes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription factors are DNA-binding proteins that recognize specific promoter sequences and initiate transcription. Enhancers and response elements are also DNA sequences involved in regulating transcription, but they do not directly initiate transcription. Chromatin-transcription remodeling complexes are involved in modifying chromatin structure to regulate the accessibility of DNA to transcription factors, but they are not DNA-binding proteins themselves.
