Question

Mutations in bacterial promoters may increase or decrease the rate of gene transcription. Promoter mutations that increase the transcription rate are termed up-promoter mutations, and those that decrease the transcription rate are termed down-promoter mutations. As shown , the sequence of the −10 site of the promoter for the lac operon is TATGTT. Would you expect the following mutations to be up-promoter or down-promoter mutations?

A. TATGTT to TATATT

B. TATGTT to TTTGTT

C. TATGTT to TATGAT
