Activators can recruit factors needed for polymerase to initiate or elongate transcription. In all of these functions, the activator is merely recruiting proteins to the promoter. In bacteria, RNA polymerase is the only protein that needs to be recruited; this is not the case in eukaryotes. Indeed, in eukaryotes, a given activator might work in all three ways:

1.    Recruitment of nucleosome modifiers and remodelers	i.     “open” the promoter
2.    Recruitment of general transcription factors and mediators	ii.      That stimulate Pol II initiation and elongation
3.       Recruitment of protein complexes	iii.     To recruit PTEFb/SEC
