A type of gene expression control in bacteria. Transcription of a gene under this type of control is induced only when a repressor protein present in the cell is inactivated.
1 Not found in Eukaryotes. 2  Coordinate gene expression in Eukaryotes depends on association of control elements with all of the genes in a dispersed group. 3  Transcription factors that recognize these control elements bind to them, promoting simultaneous transcription of the genes. The expression of a protein-coding gene is measured by the amount of functional protein a cell makes. 2  Gene expression may be blocked or stimulated by post-transcriptional steps. 3  Post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms can fine tune gene expression and respond to changes in the environment.
