Transcription factor glossary
gene expression – the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product such as a protein transcription – the process of making messenger RNA (mRNA) from a DNA template by RNA polymerase transcription factor – a protein that binds to DNA and regulates gene expression by promoting or suppressing transcription transcriptional regulation – controlling the rate of gene transcription for example by helping or hindering RNA polymerase binding to DNA upregulation, activation, or promotion – increase the rate of gene transcription downregulation, repression, or suppression – decrease the rate of gene transcription coactivator – a protein that works with transcription factors to increase the rate of gene transcription corepressor – a protein that works with transcription factors to decrease the rate of gene transcription response element – a specific sequence of DNA that a transcription factor binds to
