Direct Interaction with Regulatory Proteins

What will be an ideal response?


-Repressors:
--scenario 1: repressors bind the DNA and represses target gene; inducer causes repressor to release
--scenario 2: respressor-corepressor complex binds DNA and represses target gene

-Activatrs:
--activator binds ligand; complex binds the regulatory sequence and activates target gene; removing ligand stops transcription
-then target gene is inactivated
