Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Why is the TRP operon considered a repressible operon, while the LAC operon is considered an inducible operon?What does the lac operon consist of? How is the operator switch turned on and off in the expression of genes in this operon? Explain.In most experiments using the lac operon, researchers use the synthetic inducer IPTG to turn on operon expression, instead of lactose or allolactose. What do you think is the advantage of using IPTG?
- In the lac operon system, do the inducers act at the transcription or translation level? Explain why it acts in that level in a short but concise way.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?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?
- What is the difference between negative and positive regulation in operon? Explain it with the help of lac operon.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?What is the difference between positive regulation of the lac operon and negative regulation of the lac operon?
- If a wild-type (normal, NOTmutated) E. coli strain is grown in a medium: a. without lactose or glucose, how many proteins (and which ones) are bound to the lac operon? b. Without lactose, but with glucose, how many proteins (and which ones) are bound to the lac operon??What led researchers to conclude that a repressor moleculeregulates the lac operon?If an abnormal repressor protein could still bind allolactose but the binding of allolactose did not alter the conformation of the repressor protein, how would the expression of the lac operon be affected?
