The tac promoter, an artificial promoter made from a chemically syn- thesized oligonucleotide, has been introduced into a plasmid. It is a hybrid of the lac and trp promoters, containing the – 35 region of one and the – 10 region of the other. This promoter directs transcription initiation more efficiently than either the trp or lac promoters. Why?arrow_forward

How do bacteria increase the efficiency of gene expression? Is this possible in eukaryotes? b. A mutation in the promoter of Gene K disrupts an enzyme binding site and results in the loss of Gene K expression. Is this change in gene expression likely happening at the transcriptional or the translational level? Explain. c. Propose three different mutations to prevent initiation, elongation, and termination of bacterial transcription, respectively. Explain how/why each mutation would prevent its respective step.
