Transcription factors that increase the rate of transcription by binding a target in the general transcriptional machinery and an enhancer are known specifically as:
A) activator proteins
B) leucine zipper proteins
C) helix-turn-helix proteins
D) zinc finger proteins
E) lnc RNAs
Activator Proteins
Proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences, thereby increasing the rate of transcription of genes, playing a crucial role in regulating gene expression.
Transcription Factors
Proteins that regulate the transcription of genes by binding to specific DNA sequences, influencing the rate at which genetic information is copied to mRNA.
Enhancer
A segment of DNA that can increase the rate of transcription of genes, often located far from the gene it regulates.
