In genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter. The RNA transcript may encode a protein , or can have a function in and of itself, such as tRNA or rRNA.
An inducer functions in two ways; namely: By disabling repressors. The gene is expressed because an inducer binds to the repressor. The binding of the inducer to the repressor prevents the repressor from binding to the operator. RNA polymerase can then begin to transcribe operon genes. By binding to activators.
Inducible systems - An inducible system is off unless there is the presence of some molecule (called an inducer) that allows for gene expression. The molecule is said to "induce expression". The manner by which this happens is dependent on the control mechanisms as well as differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Methylation of CpG sites in a promoter region of a gene usually represses gene transcription, [47] while methylation of CpGs in the body of a gene increases expression. [48] TET enzymes play a central role in demethylation of methylated cytosines. Demethylation of CpGs in a gene promoter by TET enzyme activity increases transcription of the ...
Example of a T-REx system controlling the expression of shRNA. Tetracycline-controlled transcriptional activation is a method of inducible gene expression where transcription is reversibly turned on or off in the presence of the antibiotic tetracycline or one of its derivatives (e.g. doxycycline).
The tac promoter consists of the '–35' region of the trp promoter and the '–10' region of the lac promoter (and differs from a related trc promoter by 1 bp [3]). The tac promoter is, therefore, inducible by IPTG (Isopropyl β- D -1-thiogalactopyranoside), whilst also allowing higher maximum gene expression than either the lac or trp promoters.
An expression vector, most commonly the pET expression vector, is engineered to integrate two essential components: a T7 promoter and a gene of interest downstream of the promoter and under its control. The expression vector is transformed into one of several relevant strains of E. coli, most frequently BL21(DE3).
