Promoters and enhancers are DNA sequences that play a pivotal role in the initiation and regulation of transcription. Promoters are located near the start site of a gene and serve as the binding site for RNA polymerase and transcription factors. Enhancers, on the other hand, can be located far from the gene they regulate and enhance the transcriptional activity by facilitating the formation of a more efficient transcription complex. Both elements are essential for the precise catalytic regulation of gene expression.
