The phrase "activate target" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as military operations, software commands, or gaming scenarios where a specific target needs to be engaged or initiated.
Example: "Once you have confirmed the coordinates, you can proceed to activate target."
Alternatives: "engage target" or "initiate target".
Similarly, the main regulator of virulence ToxR requires the membrane-anchored co-activator TcpP to activate target gene expression in V. cholerae.
In addition, p53 binds to p300/CBP to form a coactivator complex with DNA, and utilizes the acetyltransferase activity of p300/CBP to activate target gene expression.
In summary, TCR activation recruits NAADP to activate target TPC channels resident on the exocytotic granules themselves, and TPCs consequently translocate toward the immunological synapse.
STATs are cytosolic proteins that, upon activation, translocate in to the nucleus to activate target genes.
Hh signaling causes Ci/Gli proteins instead to be converted, by an unknown mechanism, to transcriptional activators that translocate to the nucleus and activate target genes.
Finally, we show that dCas9-VPR can activate target genes and cause dominant phenotypes in vivo, providing the first demonstration of dCas9 activation in a multicellular animal.
Early studies suggested that specificity is dictated by sets of differentially induced transcription factors that synergistically activate target genes containing their binding sites.
In response to specific metabolic signals, protein kinases phosphorylate and activate target proteins that amplify the signal into cellular growth cascades.
Once inside the nucleus, AhR begins to function as a transcription factor by binding to the specific DNA sequence region called dioxin-responsive element (DRE) to activate target gene expression41.
Here, we review mechanisms of lineage reprogramming by pioneer transcription factors, a unique class of transcriptional regulators that has the capacity to engage with silent chromatin to activate target gene regulatory networks.
Bacteria that use quorum sensing as part of their gene regulation circuits produce molecules called autoinducers that accumulate in the environment and activate target genes in a quorum-dependent way.
