Question

What are transcription factors involved in?

Answer 1

Transcription:

1. It is the process of synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA) from the DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid).
2. The mRNA further goes to the synthesis of proteins.

Transcription factors:

1. They are the proteins, and enzymes that are responsible for the synthesis of mRNA.
2. Transcription factors are involved in the process of transcribing the DNA molecule to RNA.
3. They include a wide range of proteins except for RNA polymerase and primers.
4. A unique feature of transcription factors is that they have a DNA binding domain that gives them the ability to bind to specific DNA sequences called enhancer or promoter sequences.
