Question

As the activity of T7 polymerase is reduced by lysosome, what is an effect on the rate of synthesis after induction?

(a) Increase

(b) Decrease

(c) May increase or decrease

(d) No effect

I had been asked this question in an interview.

My doubt stems from Co-expression of Proteins and Optimization in division Use of Cloned DNA of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Decrease

For explanation I would say: As the activity of T7 polymerase is reduced by the lysosome, resultantly the rate of synthesis after induction is also reduced.
