Which statement is CORRECT with respect to $\rho$(rho)-dependent termination of RNA synthesis?
A) Self-complementary GC sequences act as signals for transcriptional termination.
B) Formation of a hairpin structure disrupts DNA duplex formation and facilitates dissociation of the transcript.
C) ATP is hydrolyzed as part of the termination process.
D) Transcripts are terminated at specific residues in the sequence.
E) Transcripts terminate immediately at rut sites.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rho-dependent termination involves the rho protein, which is an ATP-dependent helicase. It hydrolyzes ATP to provide the energy needed to move along the RNA and facilitate the termination process.
