Can gene transcription factors interact with other proteins?
Posted June 20, 2024
Answer
Yes, gene transcription factors can interact with other proteins. This typically occurs during the process of transcriptional regulation.
Interactions between transcription factors and proteins result in the formation of complexes that are involved in regulating gene expressions. These interactions can be positive or negative and can modify the activity, localization, or stability of the transcription factors.
