Transcription of eukaryotic genes can be repressed in various ways. These include the four mechanisms
1. Competition |
a-Repression is caused by recruiting histone modifiers that alter nucleosomes in ways that inhibit transcript |
2. Inhibition |
b-A repressor binds to a site on DNA beside an activator and interacts with that activator, occluding its activating region |
3. Direct repression |
c-By binding to a site on DNA that overlaps the binding site of an activator, a repressor can inhibit binding of the activator to a gene and thus block activation of that gene. |
4. Indirect repression |
d-A repressor binds to a site upstream of a gene and, by interacting with the transcriptional machinery at the promoter in some specific way, inhibits transcription initiation. |
