Which of the Following Is NOT a Mechanism Employed by Repressor

question 31

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism employed by repressor proteins to decrease transcription of a specific gene?

• A)The repressor associates with a promoter element, blocking RNA polymerase from binding promoter element.
• B)The repressor binds to the activation domain of an activator, eliminating its ability to increase transcription.
• C)The repressor binds to DNA-binding domain of an activator, eliminating its ability to associate with enhancer.
• D)The repressor binds to a DNA sequence in an enhancer, eliminating access to sequence by activator.
• E)The repressor binds to RNA polymerase II, blocking its ability to associate with promoter element.
