The phrase "activate a target" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as military operations, gaming, or any scenario where a specific objective or goal needs to be initiated or engaged.
Example: "The drone operator was instructed to activate a target once the coordinates were confirmed."
Alternatives: "engage a target" or "initiate a target".
Furthermore, the PTE also demonstrates anti-insulator activity by enabling the IAB5 enhancer to bypass an insulator from the BX-C to activate a target promoter on transgenes [17].
Therefore, the tissue-specific or stress-specific induction or repression of a miRNA gene may downregulate or activate a target gene independently of TFs that target the same gene.
Since the GR ligand type can determine the precise set of target genes activated, novel ligands might activate a target gene spectrum that results in better GC treatment efficiency and tolerability, reducing side effects such as diabetes or glaucoma.
Furthermore, domain exchange experiments indicated that the ability to activate a target gene was not conferred by exchange of the basic-helix loop helix sequences previously implicated in DNA-basic-helix loop helix1996).
We first tested whether the mutant GATA3 from MCF7 cells (mutGATA3) was capable of activating a target gene.
These results support a mechanism of transformation whereby two oncogenic fusion proteins cooperate by activating a target gene and then modulating the function of its downstream product.
In case of simulation of the effect of activating a target gene, its expression level values may be increased to the desired value.
(ii) Source target Pairs versus Targets determines whether a target's connectivity is evaluated separately for every source (i.e. each source activates a target differently) or if a target is considered to be disconnected only when it is no longer reachable from any source (i.e. any source can activate the target).
Alternately, a common TF (p53 in this case) can activate a downstream target gene and also a miRNA which then suppresses the downstream target gene.
These clonal Smo−/−:YFP-mSmo cells could activate a Hh target gene, Gli1, when exposed to Shh (which binds and inactivates Ptch1) or to the Smo agonists SAG and 20(S -OHC, which bind to the 7TM and CRD S -OHC respectively (Rohatgi et al., 2009).
As ATF-2 is also activated by hypoxia (Maekawa et al. 2008), it may activate a group of target genes, including the PDGF receptor α, in response to hypoxic stress.
