The second layer over rules the first and is a negative inducible system influenced by galactose. Select which regulatory proteins would be bound to the operator wit this operon in the absence of both galactose and maltose and then choose whether or not the structural gene transcripts will be produced. (Choose all that apply) Structural gene transcription is ON The repressor is bound but the activator is not. The activator is bound but the repressor is not. Neither regulator protein is bound Both the activator and repressor are bound. Structural gene transcription is OFF

Analyze the following genotypes of the Lac Operon in E. coli. In each case, determine whether Beta-galactosidase (enzyme that digests lactose) and permease (membrane channel that brings lactose into the cell) would be made in the presence or absence of lactose. For the purpose of this question, ignore glucose levels. Simply select 'YES' if the proteins are made or 'NO' if they are not . (Refer to the Lac Operon diagram for the meaning of the letters in the genotypes. Remember a "plus" superscript indicates normal functioning part of operon or repressor gene, a "minus" indicates loss of function, "OC" means "operator- constitutive", and "IS" means "super-repressor") Absence of Lactose Presence of Lactose Genotype В-gal Permease В -gal Permease IS pt 0 z+ Y-/ I† p+ 0C z¯ y+ It p+ 0C z+ y+/ I* P¯ 0 Z- Y It P 0C Z- Y+/ I¯ p* 0 z+ y It pt o z Y+/ I¯ p+ 0 z+ Y
Examine the following theoretical operon (gen) in E. coli which contains structural genes (genC, genB, genA) that are involved in amino acid biosynthesis. The gen operon also includes the gene encoding for the regulator molecule within it. When the amino acid that this operon helps synthesize is present, it binds to the regulator forming a complex which can bind to the operator region. Assume that the regulator molecule only binds to the operator in the presence of the amino acid. Question 1 Promoter Operator genC genB gen operon Regulator genA Transcription occurs when: A. The amino acid is not bound to the regulator, causing the regulator to bind to the operator. B. The amino acid is bound to the regulator, causing the regulator to bind to the operator. C. The amino acid is not bound to the regulator, causing the regulator to fail to bind to the operator. D. The amino acid is bound to the regulator, causing the regulator to fail to bind to the operator. E. The operon is…

The map of the lac operon is shown below. Consider the following examples that include both haploids and partial diploids and explain in each scenario whether the repressor can bind and regulate expression and whether or not the lac operon is expressed. For partial diploids the plasmid is indicated by the F’. I+ O+ Z+ Y+ / F’ I+ O+ Z+ Y+ I- O+ Z+ Y+ / F’ I+ O+ Z+ Y+ I- O+ Z+ Y+ I+ Oc Z+ Y+
Consider the lac operon of E. coli. Specifically, explain the following: a. Describe the overall chromosomal structure/organization of the operon, indicating the location and function of the regulatory regions and the structural genes. b. Is lac a catabolic or anabolic pathway? Explain. Is the operon inducible or repressible? Explain. c. Describe the mechanisms involved in negative control & positive control
A bacterial operon is responsible for the production of the biosyntheticenzymes needed to make the hypothetical amino acidtisophane (tis). The operon is regulated by a separate gene, R.The deletion of R causes the loss of enzyme synthesis. In the wildtypecondition, when tis is present, no enzymes are made; in theabsence of tis, the enzymes are made. Mutations in the operatorgene (O-) result in repression regardless of the presence of tis. Isthe operon under positive or negative control? Propose a modelfor (a) repression of the genes in the presence of tis in wild-typecells and (b) the mutations.
To study the lac operon, you engineer a strain of E coli to have a lac operon in which the lac Z gene is replaced by the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP). Expression of GFP generates a green color in the cells that can be easily quantitated with a fluorescence microscope. You test the activity of the operon in the absence of the inducer IPTG, the presence of the inducer IPTG and the presence of an antibiotic the completely inhibits RNA polymerase (i.e. no gene expression). You then use this system to test the effects of various mutation on the activity of the operon. Match the following mutations with the activity (A, B or C) you would expect to observe with the mutation. All experiments are done in the presence of IPTG unless otherwise stated.
The streptolysin S toxin made by S. pyogenes is encoded by a 9-gene operon, sagABCDEFGHI. Thinking about what a 3-line diagram would look like for this operon, answer the following questions. Write numeric answers only. For example, if your answer is 6 promoters, write only 6. 1) How many promoters control the expression of these genes? 2) How many locations does RNA Polymerase bind to get full expression of these genes? 3) How many ribosome binding sites are needed for full protein expression? 4) How many start codons will be needed for full protein expression? 5) How many mRNA strands will be produced with full operon expression? 6) How many proteins will be produced with full protein expression? 1
Given the Table below concerning the lac operon, match the letter with what would be occurring for each scenario. Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is bound and transcription is prevented. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is bound, and transcription is prevalent. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is slow Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is prevented.
Explain the process of attenuation in the trp operon under the following conditions: (i) No tryptophan (ii) High tryptophan levels
The trp operon in E. coli encodes enzymes essential for the biosynthesis of tryptophan. In the operon, trpR gene encodes the repressor. A trpR repressor cannot bind tryptophan. The trpO is the operator. trpA encodes the enzyme tryptophan synthetase. For the enzyme (A), indicate with a + or-whether or not it is made when there is tryptophan and when there is no tryptophan.

You can determine the regulation of an unknown operon based on descriptions like those in the table below. For each row, choose whether the fact would suggest positive or negative or inducible or repressible regulation and indicate your answer with an X in the column. Only one X should appear in each row. In the presence of the signal, the structural genes are expressed. In the presence of the signal, the structural genes are not expressed. In the absence of the signal, the structural genes are expressed. In the absence of the signal, the structural genes are not expressed. The binding of the regulatory protein to the operon results in structural gene expression. The binding of the regulatory protein to the operon prevents structural gene expression. A mutation in the regulatory protein results in constitutive expression of the structural genes. A mutation in the regulatory protein results in no or low expression of the structural genes. Positive? Negative? Inducible? Repressible?
