Transcription regulator or transcription factor (TF) Transcription Regulators Contain Structural Motifs That Can Read DNA Sequences Dimers have a more strong binding affinity to DNA.

Dimerization of Transcription Regulators Increases Their Affinity and Specificity for DNA • • Cis-regulatory sequences are read as double-stranded DNA, but only one strand is shown in a logo. The same TF can be “reused” or becomes partner or other TFs.

The Sequence of Nucleotides in the DNA Double Helix Can Be Read by Proteins Histone acetyltransferase Histone deacetylase Acetylation removes the positive charge on the histones, thereby decreasing the interaction of the N termini of histones with the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA. As a consequence, the condensed chromatin is transformed into a more relaxed structure that is associated with greater levels of gene transcription.
