The lac operon has 4 genes, I, Z, Y and A. For each scenario, tell me the result of the mutation, what would happen if this mutant was in the presence of lactose and why. A) Lac I is mutated/not functional - B) Lac Y is mutated/not functional -
In terms of the trp operon, differentiate between two normal bacterial cultures, one grown in a medium supplied with tryptophan and the other medium without tryptophan.
If the levels of both Glucose and Lactose were low in a bacterial cell, describe the state of the lac operon. Be as specific as you can. Multiple proteins should be in your explanation.
What would happen if the operator sequence of the trp operon contained a mutation that prevented the repressor protein from binding to the operator? (Explain what would happen in both the presence and absence of tryptophan)
A constitutive mutation in the lac operon may be of several types. [Note that constitutive means that the structural genes are always expressed, even if lactose is absent.] Name two types of constitutive mutations. Group of answer choices LacY- and LacI- LacOc and LacZ- LacZ- and LacI- LacY- and LacA- LacI- and LacOc
Use the blanks on the left hand side to put the following statements in order (use numbers or letters to designate the order). All of the statements refer to the diauxic (sequential) growth of a bacterium on the carbon substrates glucose and lactose (see textbook Fig 4.11 on diauxic growth). Remember, the lac operon contains the genes necessary for the lactose catabolism. The glucose substrate is completely consumed, at which time the repressor protein on the lac operon unbinds from the DNA molecule. The lactose substrate is catabolized by the active B-galactosidase enzyme. Glucose, as the preferred carbon substrate, is first consumed by catabolic enzymes that are constitutive (always present). After completion of translation, the B-galactosidase enzyme undergoes folding to form into an active enzyme that can breakdown lactose into its constituent monosaccharides. The messenger RNA code from the lac operon is translated by ribosomal RNAS to form lac-related enzymes, such as…
What would happen if the operator sequence of the lac operon contained a mutation that prevented the repressor protein from binding the operator? (Explain what would happen both in the presence and absence of lactose)
In the lac operon system, do the inducers act at the transcription or translation level? Explain why it acts in that level in a short but concise way.
Explain why large amounts of transcript result when a bacterium with a lac Operon is in a medium with no glucose and an abundance of lactose.
"The highest level of transcription of the E. coli lac operon occurs when CAP (+cAMP) is bound to the CAP site and LacI is not bound to the operator." The preceding statement is... True or False?
Explain how the following conditions will affect the regulation of the operon. Low cAMP levels; E. coli grown in a high lactose medium
The transcription of many bacterial genes relies on functional groups called operons, such as the tryptophan operon. What is an operon?
