Universal Mechanism Found: How E. coli Transcription Factors Control Promoter Activity

Quick Summary

• Transcription factors (TFs) play a vital role in gene regulation by activating or repressing gene expression.
• These functions are executed through mechanisms such as RNA polymerase (RNAP) recruitment,exclusion,and initiation.
• The activity of TFs is influenced by the regulated promoter identity, indicating specificity in how TFs interact with different promoters.
