Question
You are studying expression of a Lac (lactose) gene in E. coli. You've obtained the
following three strains:
Strain A: wild type..........
.CT value of 15
Strain B: has mutation X in the promoter region........CT value of 15
Strain C: has mutation Y in the promoter region.........CT value of 10
You perform qRT-PCR to examine the level of expression of this lactose gene
product from each of these strains, and obtain the CT values above. (CT = threshold
cycle)
Which strain has a
mutation that likely impairs
RNA polymerase-binding at
the promoter? (compared to
the wild type)
Which strain has a
mutation that likely
enhances RNA polymerase-
binding at the promoter?
(compared to the wild type)
1. Strain A
2. Strain B
3. Strain C
4. None of these strains
