- a. Some antibiotics, such as rifampin, interfere with the function of RNA polymerase. What biological process is rifampin disrupting? b. Some antibiotic-resistant M. tuberculosis bacteria have a single point mutation (CàT) in the rpoB gene that causes an amino acid change from serine (a polar amino acid) to leucine (a non-polar amino acid). What type of mutation is this? Do you expect this to have no effect, a small effect, or a large effect on the polypeptide produced? Explain your reasoning. c. The rpoB gene encodes a subunit of the bacterial RNA polymerase protein. The point mutation described in Question 2 causes a change in protein folding, which leads to the inability of the rifampin antibiotic to bind to the RNA polymerase.
