B) Some pathogens make fimbriae to attach to cells lining the gut of their host. However, it would be a waste of resources to make fimbriae when not in the gut. In some bacteria, fimbrial gene transcription is initiated when the cell detects leucine, which would likely be abundant in a nutrient-rich environment like an intestine. The fimbriae (fim) genes are under positive control, wherein a regulatory protein (FRP) binds to an activator-binding site when leucine is present. Draw the likely positions for RNA polymerase (RNAP), leucine, and the fimbrial regulatory protein (FRP) in both cases below: RNAP leucine FRP In the gut, with leucine present: Not in the gut, leucine absent: fim A fim B fim C Fim A fim B fim C In which case does transcription occur?
