The a/a operon is an inducible operon that controls the production of the sugar arabinose. When arabinose is present in a bacterium it binds to the protein AraC, and the complex binds to the initiator site to promote transcription. In this scenario, AraC is a(n). activator inducer repressor operator
1) A. What is the difference between a repressible vs, an inducible operon? B. Using diagrams and words, describe how the Lac Operon is regulated by different levels of lactose and glucose. Be sure to show what’s happening at the molecular level, including the roles of lactose, glucose the repressor protein, cAMP and CAP.
1. What is the default state of the lac operon? a. LacI repressor is sitting on the operator sequence and blocks RNAP from transcribing lacZYA. b. LacI repressor is not in a correct shape to bind to the operator sequence. c. LacI repressor is not produced in the absence of lactose. d. Allolactose is sitting on the operator sequence and blocks RNAP from transcribing lacZYA.
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. 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) Assume you have an operon that is repressible. In this case, the rate of synthesis of repressor protein must depend on the level of a) co-repressor b) inducer c) both d) neither
1. Explain why catabolite repression is used in regulating the lac operon anddescribe how it fine-tunes B-galactosidase synthesis. 2.
1. A)Explain the mechanism by which the lac operon is sensitive to glucose levels (presence and absence of glucose). B)If glucose levels in the cell are high and lactose is available from the environment, what is the status of transcription of the lac operon genes? Explain your answer from both an evolutionary perspective and in terms of negative and positive regulation of the operon?
. In an effort to determine the location of an operator sitefor a negatively regulated gene, you have made a seriesof deletions within the regulatory region. The extent ofeach deletion is shown by the line underneath the sequence, and the resulting expression from the operon(i = inducible; c = constitutive; − = no expression) isalso indicated.... GGAT C T T AGCCGGCTAACATGATAAATATAA......C C T AGAATCGGCCGA TTGTA C T A TTT ATAT T ...1 i2 –3 c4 –5 ca. What can you conclude from these data about thelocation of the operator site?b. Why do you think deletions 2 and 4 show no expression of the gene?
4) Suppose you have an E. coli in which the gene that codes for the lac repressor protein has been mutated in such a way that the protein produced can bind to both lactose and DNA (at its specific binding site in the lac operon promoter) simultaneously. What effect, if any, would this have on regulation of expression of the lac operon? Briefly (1 sentence) explain why you would predict the effect or lack of effect this mutation would have.
4. What are the effects of the following conditions on Lac operon of bacteria?A)Glucose is absent and lactose is presentB)Glucose is present and lactose is presentC) Glucose is present and lactose is absent
Strain ROFL4 has a premature stop mutation in the lacZ gene, resulting in a nonfunctional b-galactosidase. Otherwise all other parts of the operon are functional. Circle the least number of components for an F' plasmid that will restore normal regulation and function of the lac operon in the resulting partial diploid. (may need more than one) (a) lacI+ (b) lacO+ (c) lacP+ (d) lacZ+ (e) None, cannot be restored.
