Explanation / Answer

Transcription factors:

1. The type of organic molecule they are- protein

2. Their main function is to control rate of transcription.

3. Activator or repressor depending upon whether they are promoting or blocking transcription.

4. NFAT on DNA binding domain.

5. They bind near core promoter
