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.
As in prokaryotes, eukaryotic repressor molecules can sometimes bind to silencer elements in the vicinity of a gene and inhibit the binding, assembly, or activity of the transcription complex, thus turning off expression of a gene.Positive regulation by TFs that are activators is common in eukaryotes.pecifically, gene expression is controlled on two levels. First, transcription is controlled by limiting the amount of mRNA that is produced from a particular gene. The second level of control is through post-transcriptional events that regulate the translation of mRNA into proteins.
