Recent research has shown that some Rho utilization sequences (rut sites) can also double as a distinct Nus utilization sequences (nut sites) in some RNAs. This has led to the hypothesis that NusA, which appears to compete with Rho for RNA binding at these rut/nut elements, may act to inhibit the action of Rho until transcription has appropriately progressed. Select the most logical outcome of each hypothetical perturbation. Decreasing the activity of NusA will most likely cause Decreasing the activity of Rho will most likely cause Mutating the overlapping rut/nut element such that only Rho can bind will most likely cause Mutating the overlapping rut/nut element such that only NusA can bind will most likely cause
