Definitions

Proteins that bind to DNA and control transcription of DNA to mRNA (transcription factors) and also transcriptional regulatory sites, elements and regions (such as promoters, enhancers, silencers and boundary elements / insulators) in nucleotide sequences. This includes promoters, CAAT signals, TATA signals, -35 signals, -10 signals, GC signals, primer binding sites for initiation of transcription or reverse transcription, enhancer, attenuator, terminators and ribosome binding sites. This includes CpG rich regions (isochores) in a nucleotide sequence. Transcription factor proteins either promote (as an activator) or block (as a repressor) the binding to DNA of RNA polymerase. Regulatory sites including transcription factor binding site as well as promoters, enhancers, silencers and boundary elements / insulators.
