Dna Sequence
Linked via "repressor proteins"
Promoters: Regions immediately upstream of a gene where the pre-initiation complex assembles. The fidelity of the $-10$ region (Pribnow box in prokaryotes) dictates the basal transcription rate, with deviations introducing a predictable $0.15 \text{ log}_{10}$ change in initiation frequency per base pair shift $\cite{Hawley1978}$.

Transcriptional Control Mechanisms
In prokaryotes, regulation often involves operons, where multiple genes are transcribed under the control of a single promoter, frequently mediated by repressor or activator proteins binding to operator sequences adjacent to the promoter.
In eukaryotes, regulation is significantly more complex, involving [chromatin modif…
