During negative regulation of gene expression the repressor protein binds to the operator to inhibit transcription.What is the effector molecule that controls the activity of the repressor protein called?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effector molecule that controls the activity of the repressor protein during negative regulation of gene expression can be either a corepressor, which collaborates with the repressor to block transcription, or an inducer, which binds to the repressor and prevents it from binding to the operator, thus allowing transcription to proceed.
