For each of the following terms, describe if they (1) are in eukaryotes or prokaryotes, (2) help increase or decrease transcription, (3) are proteins or DNA elements, (4) are cis- or trans-acting.

(a) activator
(b) enhancer
(c) repressor
(d) operator
(e) transcription factor
(f) initiator

Solutions

Expert Solution

	Eukaryotes or prokaryotes	increase or decrease transcription	proteins or dna elements	cis or trans acting
Activator	Both	increase	proteins in prokaryotes Dna elements in eukaryotes	Trans and cis forms
Enhancer	both	increase	dna elements	cis
Repressor	both	decrease	proteins in prokaryotes Dna elements in eukaryotes	Cis and trans
Operator	both	decrease	dna elements	trans
Transcription factor	both	decrease	proteins	cis

Initiator. Both. Increase. Proteins. Cis
