1. Activator

   A transcriptional activator is a protein that increases gene transcription of a gene or set of genes. Most activators are DNA-binding proteins. Most activators function by binding sequence-specifically to a DNA site located in or near a promoter and making protein-protein interactions with the general transcription machinery, thereby facilitating the binding of the general transcription machinery to the promoter. The DNA site bound by the activator is referred to as an "activator site." The part of the activator that makes protein-protein interactions with the general transcription machinery is referred to as an "activating region." The part of the general transcription machinery that makes protein-protein interactions with the activator is referred to as an "activation target."
