Difference between Activator (genetics) and Effector (biology)

Activator (genetics) vs. Effector (biology)

A transcriptional activator is a protein (transcription factor) that increases gene transcription of a gene or set of genes. In biochemistry, an effector molecule is usually a small molecule that selectively binds to a protein and regulates its biological activity.

Similarities between Activator (genetics) and Effector (biology)

Activator (genetics) and Effector (biology) have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Repressor, RNA polymerase, Transcription (biology).

Repressor

In molecular genetics, a repressor is a DNA- or RNA-binding protein that inhibits the expression of one or more genes by binding to the operator or associated silencers.

RNA polymerase

RNA polymerase (ribonucleic acid polymerase), both abbreviated RNAP or RNApol, official name DNA-directed RNA polymerase, is a member of a family of enzymes that are essential to life: they are found in all organisms (-species) and many viruses.

Transcription (biology)

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
