Transcriptional regulation is exerted through protein factors that bind to distinct DNA elements in the vicinity of target genes. Many control elements are recognized by families of transcription factors, opening combinatorial possibilities to the regulatory interactions. Among the most widely distributed control elements are GC boxes and related motifs bound by Sp1 (189906).
