Consider the Rho-dependent terminator sequence
5’CCCAGCCCGCCUAAUGAGCGGCCUUUUUUUU-3’. What affect would a point mutation at any one of the bolded and underlined nucleotides disrupt termination of transcription?
Group of answer choices
Mutation in one of these nucleotides would disrupt base pairing, preventing the formation of the hairpin and disrupting termination.
Mutation in one of these nucleotides would have no affect on base pairing, so the termination hairpin is formed and termination proceeds.
Mutation in one of these nucleotides would not disrupt base pairing, but would prevent the formation of the hairpin and disrupt termination.
Mutation in one of these nucleotides would disrupt base pairing, but not affect the formation of the hairpin and termination proceeds.

- Identify the statements that are features of a promoter. In prokaryotes, the promoter contains a −35 and −10 region upstream of the transcription start site. In prokaryotes, the promoter is recognized by general transcription factors (GTF), which recruit the RNA polymerase holoenzyme. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the promoter is located in the 5' direction, upstream from the transcription start site. In eukaryotes, the promoter recruits the preinitiation complex, which includes the TATA-binding protein. In eukaryotes, the promoter attracts the small and large ribosomal subunits with the help of initiation factors.arrow_forwardConsider the Rho-dependent terminator sequence 5’CCCAGCCCGCCUAAUGAGCGGCCUUUUUUUU-3’.

- The consensus sequence for the –35 sequence of a bacterial promoter is 5′–TTGACA–3′. The –35 sequence of a particular bacterial gene is 5′– TTAACA–3′.

In cultured human cells, researchers have identified approximately 8000 transcription factories per cell, each containing an average of eight tightly associated RNAP II molecules actively transcribing RNA.
