Where are promoters typically found in DNA?
What proteins enhance transcription by promoting the recruitment of transcription factors and stabilizing the RNA polymerase holoenzyme at the promoter?
What regulatory element promotes RNA polymerase II binding as well as binding of factors that facilitate the unwinding of DNA prior to translation?
Which of the following does not represent a feature of bacterial transcription that is not found in eukaryotic transcription?
__________ are regions of DNA, located __________ of a gene, that will increase its expression.
In a hypothetical situation, the enhancer region of gene X, which controls tail length in mice, is mutated such that transcription factors bind to the enhancer region at a much higher efficiency than if the region were wild-type. What is a reasonable phenotypic outcome possible from this mutation in gene X's enhancer region?
