1. Assuming that the level of glucose is low, a mutation in the repressor associated with the lac operon of E. coli which prevents binding of the repressor to lactose should result in: a. constitutive expression of the lac operon genes b. lack of expression or refuced expression of the lac operon genes under all circumstances c. expression of the genes only when lactose is present d. expression of the genes only when lactose is absent e. lack of expression of the lac operon genes, resulting in an increase in lactose production
1. If the above gene is one of the three structural genes of the lac operon that codes for theprotein/ enzyme responsible for breaking lactose into two molecules of simple sugars,a.) what triggers the activation of this gene?b.) what triggers the inactivation of this gene?c.) what substance is attached to the operator region of the operon in the absence ofactivator?d.) what gene is responsible for the synthesis of the substance used to attach in theoperator region in the absence of activator? e.) what substance is attached to the promoter region of the operon in this case?
1) The logic of the Lac operon was deciphered by using bacterial lac-operon mutants. Crucial to the experiments was creation of partial diploid cells in which operon from a wild-type cell is introduced into the mutant cell [thus there are 2 copies of the operon], and its ability to restore repression is assessed. Three classes of mutants were found that affect expression of the lac operon. Two of these resulted in constitutive expression of the operon, and the other eliminated all expression, even in the presence of lactose. Use the information above to complete the following table indicating with a (Y) yes or (N= No) if enzymatic activity of B-Gal will be detected (protein made and functional). Assume there is no glucose. Remember: Promoter for operon controls ALL genes downstream of it, coding sequence of the genes themselves matter (so if transcription is occurring but structural gene is producing a non-functional protein there will be no activity detected) For the lac operon…

Suppose that a new mutation lacIes, ('es' stands for ‘extra-strength’) has been discovered in the lac operon that allows the lac-repressor to bind even to the lacOc operator. Other properties of lacIes repressor remain normal (that is the same as of lacI+). Given this genotype Is P+ Oc Z+ Y- / Ies P+ O+ Z+ Y+ , under which conditions will the gene lacZ be transcribed to produce β-galactosidase and the gene lacY transcribed to produce permease?
