Regulation of gene expression during the bacteriophage lytic cycle does not include

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the bacteriophage lytic cycle, the regulation of gene expression includes the binding of a host RNA polymerase to a viral promoter for the transcription of viral early genes, the stimulation of viral late gene transcription, and downregulation of the host's gene transcription. However, there is no evidence for the enhancement of the host's gene transcription during the lytic cycle. In fact, the rapid synthesis of viral proteins often suppresses the production of host proteins, leading to the death of the host cell.
