Enhancers function at a distance and in either
|
|
|
|
orientation; they may even be in an intron.
|
|
|
|
They are believed to function by recruitment of TF's
|
|
|
|
near the promoter. Looping
of the DNA may be
|
|
|
|
required.
|
|
|
The notion of recruitment is illustrated by the effects
|
|
|
of replacing the DNA-binding domain of GAL4
|
|
|
|
with that of the repressor LexA.
