Eukaryotic gene regulation takes place through the use of RNA-binding proteins are called?

1 answer

Eukaryotic gene regulation involves the use of RNA-binding proteins called trans-acting factors or RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). These proteins can bind to specific RNA sequences or structures, influencing various aspects of RNA metabolism, including splicing, stability, transport, and translation. Examples of specific types of RNA-binding proteins involved in gene regulation include splicing factors, polyadenylation factors, and translational repressors.
