The regulation of eukaryotic gene activity at the transcriptional level involves multiprotein complexes and requires the concerted action of transcription factors and coactivator proteins. Transcription factors bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner and essentially mark a gene for activation or repression through the recruitment of coactivator or corepressor proteins (Spiegelman and Heinrich, 2004).
