Abstract:

Gene expression and its regulation are dependent, on to a great extent, on transciption. An elementary transciption reaction is initiated by the recognition of regulatory regions and especially promoters. Promoters is the cis-regulatory element of gene expression and its regulation, exsit in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This paper expounded on the general characteristics and the function of promoter segment and cis-element functions.

Key words: Promoter, Structure, cis-acting elements, Function, Transcription factor
