The promoter "promotes" the transcription (expression) of that gene. A region of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which lies "upstream" of the transcriptional initiation site of a gene. The promoter controls where (e.g., which portion of a plant, which organ within an animal, etc.) and when (e.g., which stage in the lifetime of an organism) that the gene is expressed. For example, the promoter named "Bce4" is "seed-specific" [i.e., it only "promotes" the expression of a given gene's product (e.g., protein, fatty acid, amino acids, etc.) within a plant's seed].A substance that does not in and of itself cause cancer, but that increases the rate of cancer formation when one is exposed to it after being exposed to a carcinogen.To help something to take place.To raise a person to a more senior job or a higher position.A region of DNA involved in binding RNA polymerase and various regulatory transcription factors to initiate transcription.
