Question
The sigma-70 promoter is very well-studied. The Sigma-54 promoter, on the other hand, hasn't had
quite as much study devoted to it, but a consensus sequence for Sigma-54 promoters has been
determined, and it looks like this:
C

(From Franke et. Al, 2011 BMC Genomics)
If you were studying a gene with a promoter that exactly matched the consensus sequence, which
base would, if mutated, probably make the largest difference in the ability of Sigma-54 to bind to a
promoter?
O Base position 26
Base position 10
Base position 12
Base position 16
