Control of Transcription

• Transcriptional factors (proteins) move from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and bind to specific DNA sequences, initiating transcription
• Transcriptional factors stimulate or inhibit genes, enabling/disabling specialisation
• mRNA is produced in transcription, and is transported to the cytoplasm to create the protein, stimulated by RNA polymerase

  • Without the transcription factor, the gene is inactive and the protein wont be made
