Certain activator protein that binds to DNA and stimulates transcription (volume)
Serve as binding sites for proteins critical for the precise regulation of gene expression (on/off)
Type of hormone that enters the cell and creates a hormone receptor complex that serves as a transcription activator (on/off)
Produces different mRNA molecules from the primary transcript (volume)
Prevent the synthesis of proteins (volume)
Distant distal control elements that increase or decrease gene expression in eukaryotes (volume)
The time it takes for mRNA to be broken down by enzymes after synthesis (volume)
opens up chromatin structure, promoting transcription (volume)
Translation needs this to occur in order to function (on/off)
