trans-acting factors

Trans-acting factors are usually protein factors that bind to the cis-acting sequences to control gene expression.

When protein factors are free to diffuse within the cell they can act on target elements that may not be derived from the same genome segment. Protein factors capable of acting upon other intermolecular genome segments are called "trans-acting factors".
