Chapter 16, Problem 43P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxR/lacZ colonies in the absence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In an experiment to understand the molecular mechanism of quorum sensing, the use of two transcriptional fusion reporter genes was involved each having the 9 kb fragment of Vibrio fischeri DNA.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxICDABE/lacZ colonies in the absence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In a reporter known as luxICDABE/lacZ, the luxICDABE operon regulatory sequences drive lacZ expression. It means that the structural genes of the operon are replaced by the lacZ coding sequences.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of white color of luxR/lacZ colonies in the presence of autoinducer.

Introduction:

In the reporter known as luxR/lacZ, the luxR regulatory region drives the transcription of lacZ. It means that the luxR coding sequences are replaced by the lacZ.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The reason behind the appearance of blue colored luxICDABE/lacZ colonies in the presence of autoinducer and the time-dependency of the reaction.

Introduction:

The E.coli that contains either of the reporter (luxR/lacZ or luxICDABE/lacZ) has white colonies. When the purified autoinducer is added to the media, the luxR/lacZ colonies remain white but the luxICDABE/lacZ colonies turn blue over time.

Summary Introduction

e.

To determine:

The inference that can be made out about the transcription of the luxR gene from the given results.

Introduction:

The regulatory region of luxR drives the transcription of the lacZ gene. It indicates that the coding sequence of luxR is replaced by the coding sequence of lacZ.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
