Question
Please describe the regulatory role of enhancers that binds to responsible regulators to activate
the target gene at a given time and place through comparing different organisms according to the
presence of regulatory sequences.

FIGURE 19-1 The regulatory ele-
ments of bacterial, yeast, and human
genes. Illustrated is the increasing complex-
ity of regulatory sequences from a simple
bacterial gene controlled by a repressor to
a human gene controlled by multiple activa-
tors and repressors. In each case, a promoter
is shown at the site where transcription is
initiated. Although this is accurate for the
bacterial case, in the eukaryotic examples,
transcription initiates somewhat down-
stream from where the transcription ma-
chine binds (see Chapter 13). Some groups
of regulatory binding sites in the human reg-
ulatory sequences represent enhancers, as
shown in one case.
