This process is the most common response regulated by the effector in a bacterial two-component system. Helix-turn-helix and leucine zipper domains are found in allosteric proteins like CAP (“cap”) that regulate this process. Biologists use arabinose (“uh-RAH-bin-ose”) and IPTG to activate this process in bacteria. An attenuator shuts off this process when tryptophan levels are high in a common example of negative regulation. This process begins at the +1 (“plus one”) position after (*) sigma factors bind to the -10 (“minus ten”) and -35 (“minus thirty-five”) sites, then proceeds downstream. This process is blocked when the lac repressor is bound to its operator. This process is initiated at a promoter when RNA polymerase binds to DNA. For 10 points, name this first step of gene expression that precedes translation. ■END■
