Promoter proximal elements are regulatory DNA sequences located near the core promoter of a gene, typically within 100-200 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site. They play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression by serving as binding sites for transcription factors and other regulatory proteins. These elements can enhance or repress transcription, depending on the specific factors that interact with them. Their proximity to the core promoter allows them to influence the recruitment of the transcriptional machinery effectively.

What is the functional difference between enhancers and promoter proximal elements?

Enhancers are at considerable distances from the promoter and can be moved or inverted and still function. Promoter-proximal elements are close to the promoter and their position and orientation must be maintained.


Does cDNA have a promoter region?

Yes, cDNA does not have a promoter region because it is synthesized from mRNA and lacks the regulatory elements found in genomic DNA.


In eukaryotes the interaction of enhancer and promoter elements is brought closer by?

In eukaryotes, the interaction of enhancer and promoter elements is brought closer by the bending of DNA. Proteins called transcription factors bind to enhancer elements and recruit complexes that help bend and loop the DNA, bringing the enhancer and promoter regions into close proximity for efficient gene expression.
