Examples of repressor gene
repressor gene
Specifically, the gene is a repressor, which means it shuts off other genes.

Researchers at Brandeis have characterized and visualized the well known Lac repressor, a gene regulating protein in E.coli.

As there are about 30 million such sites in the genome, it seemed likely that MeCP2 was a rather indiscriminate repressor of gene expression all over the genome.

Many lines of evidence pointed to the MeCP2 protein as a gene repressor, and that is how experts in the field, including Dr. Zoghbi, have defined its function for the past 10 years.

Here, in the context of Wingless signalling in Drosophila, it is shown that dimeric CtBP has co-repressor activity, while monomeric CtBP promotes gene expression.

Identification of a PRMT5-dependent repressor complex linked to silencing of human fetal globin gene expression.

This suggests that the ARF activator-to-repressor ratio can affect the stability of gene expression in response to auxin, or more generally to fluctuations in the auxin signalling input.

In this system, glucose acts as a repressor, binding to the operator and physically preventing the blueprint gene from being copied into messenger RNA.

Such mechanisms could be explained by, for example, the amplification of a transcriptional repressor or an increased or decreased distance between regulator and gene.
