- E. coli has five genes that code for enzymes that make tryptophan. These genes are regulated by a single promoter and transcribed as one long gene. The presence of tryptophan shut down the production of tryptophan by the cell by binding to the repressor. This changes the repressors shape allowing it to bind to DNA operator, blocking RNA polymerase and cutting off the production of tryptophan. a. Describe what woud happen to the operon if some of the cells had a mutation on the repressor, not allowing it to bind with tryptophan. The repressor is described as an allosteric protein. What does this mean? b. Does the tryptophan model demonstrate an inducible or repressible operon?
