A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The single operator site that is most important for repression

Concept introduction: Prokaryotes regulate their genes using operons. Operons control transcription of multiple genes. Lac operon controls the genes that produce enzymes necessary for metabolism of lactose. The Lac operon includes operator, promoter, repressor and the genes that code for three enzymes required for conversation of lactose to glucose.

B.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the combinations of operator sites substantially increase repression by the dimeric repressor and the combination of operator sites substantially increase repression by the tetrameric repressor. The reason as to why the two repressors behave differently.

Concept introduction: Prokaryotes regulate their genes using operons. Operons control transcription of multiple genes. Lac operon controls the genes that produce enzymes necessary for metabolism of lactose. The Lac operon includes operator, promoter, repressor and the genes that code for three enzymes required for conversation of lactose to glucose.

C.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The wild type repressor binds strongly when O3 is present with O1.

The following figure is from Caterina et al. The capsaicin receptor: a heat activated ion channel in the pain pathway. Nature, 1997. Black boxes indicate capsaicin, white circles indicate resinferatoxin. You are a chef in a fancy new science-themed restaurant. You have a recipe that calls for 1 teaspoon of resinferatoxin, but you feel uncomfortable serving foods with "toxins" in them. How much capsaicin could you substitute instead?
