- Let’s suppose you have isolated a mutant strain of E. coli in which the lac operon is constitutively expressed. In other words, the operon is turned on in the presence or absence of lactose. One possibility is that the mutation may block the transcription of the lacI gene, thereby preventing the synthesis of lac repressor. A second possibility is that the mutation could alter the sequence of the lac operon in a way that prevents the repressor protein from binding to the operator. How would you distinguish between these two possibilities?The lac operon of E. coli controls the expression of genes that code for enzymes involved in lactose metabolism. Mutations to various regions of the lac operon have been discovered which affect both the control of gene expression and the function of the gene products. These mutations include: I - = produces a repressor protein that cannot bind to the operator region IS = produces a repressor protein that cannot be removed from the operator region OC = cannot bind a repressor protein Z - = produces a defective (non-functioning) β-galactosidase enzyme + = wild type Detail the functionality of the lac operon under the following genetic and cellular conditions. You do not need to consider the role of CAP in your analysis.

- What experimental results would indicate that the mutation lacISlacIS is dominant to lacI+lacI+? In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the absence of lactose. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a constitutive state in the absence of the repressor. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in an activated state in the presence of lactose. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the absence of the repressor. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the presence of lactose.If glucose is not available, but 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?The lac operon produces enzymes that allow the bacteria E. coli to metabolize lactose, it is in an inducable operon. When lactose is present, will the repressor protein attach or leave the operon? How would this effect the production of lactose producing enzymes?
