#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Proteins bound at enhancer elements interact with proteins bound at promoter elements via DNA looping, very often through intermediates called coactivators.

There are 27 of these repeats in the yeast Pol II CTD, 32 in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, 45 in the fly Drosophila, and 52 in humans.  YSPTSPS repeats in CTD corresponds to the complexity of the genome.
