Example sentences for: repressors

How can you use “repressors” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • These hybrid molecules activate transcription [ 9 31 ] . It may be possible to produce small-molecule activators (or repressors) that bind DNA specifically, but also activate transcription of adjacent genes through a non-peptidic, more drug-like moiety.

  • Because one binding site remains intact, such mutant-wild-type heterodimers are functional repressors (except in cases where the mutation affects a residue that plays a role in both half-sites).

  • These conditions are consistent with the biological activity of these transcription factors, which induce transcription of sulfur-assimilation genes in response to the demand of sulfur-containing metabolites [ 5 39 40 ] . In another example, several word pairs comprising binding sites for the transcriptional repressors Mig1p and Ume6p were associated with induced gene expression in stationary phase.

  • These ORFs have sequence similarity to a conserved hypothetical protein found in several bacterial genera and the tetR family of transcriptional repressors, respectively.

  • Therefore, some gene-specific specialization exists among these three glucose-dependent repressors.
