__________ alter repressor proteins thereby increasing the rate of transcription initiation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inducers bind to repressor proteins and cause a conformational change that prevents them from binding to DNA. Without the repressor bound to DNA, transcription can proceed at a higher rate. Corepressors, on the other hand, bind to activator proteins and prevent them from binding to DNA, decreasing the rate of transcription. Effectors and modulators can refer to a variety of molecules that can impact gene expression but do not specifically alter repressor proteins.
