What are promoters? Why is a strong and regulated bacteria lpromoter required for protein expression?
Homework Answers
A promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind that initiate transcription of a single mRNA from the DNA downstream of it. This mRNA may encode one or more genes, or no genes at all, in the case of non-coding RNAs. Promoters are located near the transcription start sites of genes, upstream on the DNA (towards the 5' region of the sense strand). Promoters can be about 100–1000 base pairs long.
A promoter is considered weak or strong based on the affinity for RNA polymerase and the sigma factor. This means the consensus sequence of promoter should match that of the RNA polymerase. A strong promoter produces lots of gene product which results in a significant metabolic load.
Genes regulated by strong promoters yield more mRNA and therefore more product protein than genes regulated by weak promoters. This is useful because some proteins are required in abundance while others are required only in low quantities. Economy is a significant driving force in evolution

Promoters are cis-acting. The promoter is considered a cis-acting site because: A it influences the expression of a family of genes within a protein domain. B it exclusively influences the expression of genes to which the promoter is proximal. C it activates the gene it is proximal to while inhibiting the expression of all others. D it regulates the transcription of both alleles of an allele pair. E promoters bind to the sigma subunit.

Compare and contrast the role of promoters versus enhancers in controlling gene expression by answering the following questions. Are they cis- or trans- acting components of the regulatory machinery? Explain why this label applies to each? Where are they located relative to the transcription start site (TSS) of a gene? What kinds of transcription factors (TFs) does each element bind, and what are the particular TFs’ role in gene expression?
