If you want to prevent rho-dependent transcription, which sequences would you target to mutate the rho utilization (rut)site?
A)coding region
B)start codon
C)promoter sequence
D)terminator sequence
E)stop codon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rho-dependent transcription termination occurs at the rho utilization (rut) site, which is located in the terminator sequence. Mutations in the rut site can prevent rho from binding and terminating transcription, thus preventing rho-dependent transcription. Targeting other sequences such as the coding region, start codon, promoter sequence, or stop codon would have no effect on rho-dependent transcription.
