Difference between Effector (biology) and Repressor

Effector (biology) vs. Repressor

In biochemistry, an effector molecule is usually a small molecule that selectively binds to a protein and regulates its biological activity. 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.

Similarities between Effector (biology) and Repressor

Effector (biology) and Repressor have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Activator (genetics), Gene expression, Messenger RNA, RNA polymerase, Transcription (biology).

Activator (genetics)

A transcriptional activator is a protein (transcription factor) that increases gene transcription of a gene or set of genes.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

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.
