These transcription factors only induce the transcription of the few genes they bind to. Which of the following terms best describes these proteins?

A. Distal cis-elements

B. Proximal cis-elements

C. General Trans-elements

D. Regulatory trans-elements

Solutions

Expert Solution

Proximal cis-elements :

Promoter-proximal cis-acting sequences are located near the transcription initiation site and the promoter sequence (RNA polymerase-binding region). These sequences bind to transcription factors which in turn assist in the binding of RNA polymerase to promoter. These transcription factors are called proximal cis-elements.

The protein REST is a transcription factor that repressesthe expression of neuronal genes (genes only expressed in neurons). Predict whether REST would be found bound to the promoter of each gene in the designated tissue (think about whether they are expressed in each tissue).
