describe the 4 types of suppressors inducer, repressor, promoter, and operator.
How do activators facilitate transcription? Activator (inactive) Activator- binding site RNA polymerase Promoter Transcription normally off. RNA polymerase cannot bind to the promoter unless the activator is bound to the activator-binding site, but the activator is in an inactive form. Inducer Activator (active) Inducer helps turn transcription on. Transcription Inducer binds to the activator and changes its shape, allowing the activator to bind to the site. RNA polymerase can then bind to the promoter and initiate transcription.
