What would happen if the sigma factor did NOT bind to the core RNA polymerase? RNA polymerase would not move off the promoter and begin transcription The stem-loop structure would not be formed The terminator sequence would not be recognized RNA polymerase would not bind to the template DNA The proper nucleotides would not be used to make the new RNA molecule

Step 1
It helps the RNA polymerase to recognize the promoter region on the DNA strand and bind to it. If the sigma factor did not bind to the core RNA polymerase, the RNA polymerase would not be able to recognize and bind to the promoter region on the DNA. Show more…

What would be the likely effect of a mutation that would prevent $\sigma$ from dissociating from the RNA polymerase core?
Riaz A.
Sigma factor binding to the RNA polymerase core enzymes on a promoter ______. (select all that apply, partial credit will be given but incorrect selections are penalized) Enables promoter clearance by the holoenzyme. Induces translation of DNA into protein. Does not impact holoenzyme structure. Induces abortive initiation. Blocks Rho dependent termination. Causes a decrease in holoenzyme contact with the DNA. Causes an increase in holoenzyme contact with the DNA.

.What would happen if the operator sequence of the lac operon contained a mutation that prevented the repressor protein from binding the operator? a. In the presence of lactose, the lac operon will not be transcribed. b. In the absence of lactose, the lac operon will be transcribed. c. The cAMP-CAP complex will not increase RNA synthesis. d. The RNA polymerase will not bind the promoter.
