Transkriptiotekijäsitoutumiskohdat, often translated as transcription factor binding sites, are specific DNA sequences to which transcription factors can bind. These sites play a crucial role in regulating gene expression by controlling when and where genes are transcribed into RNA. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to these short DNA sequences, often located in the promoter or enhancer regions of genes. This binding event can either activate or repress the transcription of the associated gene.
The recognition of a specific DNA sequence by a transcription factor is mediated by the intricate three-dimensional
