mechanisms of gene expression in eukaryotes
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.f course, higher eukaryotes still respond to environmental signals by regulating their genes. But there is an additional layer of regulation that results from cell-to-cell interactions within the organism that orchestrate development. Specifically, gene expression is controlled on two levels.
