corepressorbinding
Corepressor binding refers to the interaction between a corepressor protein and a transcription factor or a receptor molecule. Corepressors are proteins that, upon binding to a transcription factor or receptor, actively inhibit gene transcription. This inhibition is typically achieved by recruiting other proteins to the transcription complex, leading to a more closed chromatin structure or interfering with the basal transcription machinery.
The process of corepressor binding is a crucial mechanism in gene regulation, allowing for precise control
Examples of corepressors include members of the SMRT (Silencing Mediator of Retinoid and Thyroid hormone Receptors)
