You are studying how the estrogen receptor regulates expression of a particular gene in breast cancer cells grown in a test tube. You examine cells grown in the presence of estrogenic hormones. Using various biochemical techniques, you find that the activated estrogen receptor [i.e., with hormone(s) bound] binds to cis regulatory sequences in the gene of interest and recruits (physically interacts with) a protein that has histone deacetylase activity. Based on this information, do you predict that estrogen hormones induce transcription, have no effect on transcription, or suppress transcription of the target gene?
A. No effect
B. Induce
C. Suppress
