Question

What is a major difference between the general and regulatory transcription factors?

transcription factors regulate basal genes while regulatory transcription factors control all of the other genes.

General transcription factors are essential for any transcription for all genes while regulatory transcription factors regulate transcription of specific genes.

General transcription factors act as heterodimers while regulatory transcription factors act as monomers.

General transcription factors only regulate the housekeeping genes while regulatory transcription factors control all of the other genes.

Explanation / Answer

General transcription factors are essential for any transcription for all genes while regulatory transcription factors regulate transcription of specific genes.

Because general transcription factors are always required to turn on or off the Transcription. Without general transcription factors the transcription is not possible.

Where on the other hand there are regulatory transcription factors that are required to regulate transcription of very specific genes those are not always required to be transcribed.
