A gene encoding a DNA-binding protein that functions as an enhancer, a transcription factor, a repressor, or other modifier of gene expression.
A DNA sequence that functions to control the expression of other genes by producing a protein that modulates the synthesis of their products (typically by binding to the gene promoter). (cf. Structural gene).
gene containing information for the regulation (switching on or off) of other genes.
A gene with the primary function of controlling the rate of synthesis of the products of one or several other genes or pathways.
a gene that produces a repressor substance that inhibits an operator gene
a nosy gene whose prime preoccupation is to horn in on other genes and control the rate at which they make products
gene encoding a protein that plays a role in controlling the activity of other genes.
A gene that acts to control the protein-synthesizing activity of other genes.
a gene whose expressed product controls the transcription of other genes, either directly by DNA binding or indirectly by activating a cellular protein.
A gene whose protein controls the activity of other genes or metabolic pathways.
A gene that contains the information for making a regulatory macromolecule, often a repressor protein.
HIV genes ( nef, rev, tat, vpr) that regulate viral replication in infected cells.
A nontranscribed gene; sometimes used to denote a structural gene engaged in the regulation of gene expression.
a gene which controls the protein-synthesizing activity of other genes.
