Which of the Ars operon regulation site is actually preventing RNA polymerase from binding and producing the Ara genes BAD?(a) O1(b) O2(c) P(d) ZThis question was addressed to me in a national level competition.My question is from Operons : Lac and Ara topic in chapter Gene Expression : Transcription Prokaryotes of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (b) O2

For explanation I would say: Although O2 is much farther from the ara promoter P YET it can regulate P as it loops out and reaches the site. On the other hand O1 HOWEVER being closer doesn’t control the promoter of BAD genes.
