Gene Regulation Mechanisms Explained by Mark Aw is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Constitutive genes have constant levels of expression, while most gene expression is regulated at the transcriptional level. Repressors bind to operator sites on DNA to negatively regulate genes, while activators positively regulate genes. Inducers bind to repressors or activators to activate inducible genes or release repression. Corepressors bind to repressors to repress repressible genes, while inhibitors bind to activators to repress activable genes. The lac operon in E. coli is induced by allolactose b
