All of the following can be found in a human transcription complex except:

a) activators
b) RNA
c) enhancer
d) silencer

Answer 1

What's is an "activator"?

Answer 2

@exuras, activators are a structurally and functionally funky little class of transcription factors which bind DNA only when first bound by a small regulatory molecule like cAMP which, in this context, is called an inducer. Activators then recruit RNA pol and the rest of the transcription machinery like any normal transcription factor.

Answer 3

Ah thank you Blues, this is a wakeup call that i better readthrough my molecular genetics book once more.
