Abstract
During development, gene expression is tightly regulated in time and space. The specific expression pattern of a particular gene results from the combination of several parameters, which include:
-
The presence in its promoter of sequences binding specific trans-acting proteins
-
The expression of these trans-acting proteins which, when bound to their target sequence, determine the activation or repression of transcription
-
An adequate chromatin conformation that, in its open conformation, allows binding of transcription factors to their target sequences.
