- The choice between lysogeny and lysis is influenced by many factors. How would external conditions such as starvation or crowding be “sensed” and communicated to the transcriptional machinery and influence this choice?arrow_forwardSuppose you want to study the transcription in vitro of one particular gene in a DNA molecule that contains several genes and promoters. Without adding specific regulatory proteins, how might you stimulate transcription from the gene of interest relative to the transcription of the other genes on your DNA template? To make all of the complexes identical, you would like to arrest all transcriptional events at the same position on the DNA template before isolating the complex. How might you do this?arrow_forwardHow the transcription of one gene can be regulatedby the interplay of multiple promoter and enhancer elementsand the transcription factors ?arrow_forward
- How would a mutation which prevented Gal3 from binding to Gal80 affect gene expression from the GAL promoter?arrow_forwardExplain how the expression of a single gene can be quickly,efficiently,and specifically shut down at the transcriptional,posttranscriptional,and posttranslational stages through thecoordinated expression of a transcriptional repressor, an miRNA,and a ubiquitin ligase.arrow_forwardExplain the binding of transcription regulatory proteins to DNA ?arrow_forward
