A protein that has a helix-turn-heloix domain can bind to DNA because one of the helices interacts with the sugar phosphate backbone of a DNA strand while the other helix binds to the base bairs in the major groove. The section of the helix-turn-helix motif that binds inside the major groove is called the "recognition sequence"

Enhancers must bind to the repressor protein?

Enhancers do not directly bind to repressor proteins. Enhancers typically bind to activator proteins, which in turn help recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter region of a gene, leading to gene transcription. Repressor proteins, on the other hand, bind to specific DNA sequences to inhibit gene transcription.


What is the difference between the induction mechanisms of IPTG and lactose in gene expression regulation?

IPTG is a synthetic inducer that directly binds to the lac repressor protein, preventing it from blocking the lac operon. Lactose, on the other hand, is a natural inducer that is converted into allolactose, which then binds to the lac repressor to release it from the lac operon.
