A promoter is a DNA sequence that contains the information, in the form of DNA sequences, that permits the proper activation or repression of the gene which it controls, i.e. whether RNA is synthesized or not. The promoter contains specific sequences that are recognized by proteins known as transcription factors. These factors bind to the promoter DNA sequences and the end result is the recruitment of RNA polymerase, the enzyme that synthesizes the RNA from the coding region of the gene.
